TRADITIONS
Continued from Page 4B
As the German tale goes, the 1818 carol was introduced alter mice
had eaten away at a village priest's organ music that was needed tor
that Eve's midnight service.
The priest had composed the song, "Stille Nacht. Heitige Nacht."
and had it ready to sing with the guitar for that night
Its popularity slowly spread over the years and finally became the
Bing Crosby favorite that is often sung today
As the season comes and goes and you partake in your usual mer
riments, recall the beginnings that are deeply rooted with each bow of
holly, chestnut on the open fire, sip of eggnog and note sung while
caroling. Have a Merry Winter Solstice1

one who's been to an elementary
school Christmas program will
warm up to it immediately
The Grinch Who Stole Christ
mas Yet another take off of A
Christmas Carol only this time
it's Dr. Suesse who creatively
changes the scenario. The
Grinch manages to take all of the
who yams, the who trees and the
who presents from Whoville and
in essence "steals Christmas " If
you've seen Dickens story then
you know the rest of the story
Santa Claus Conquers the
Martians : Here's your excuse to
see one of the worst movies ever
made Never mind the budget
couldn't pay for the cranberry
sauce at your dinner The acting
is atrocious, and the plot is what
the title implies This movie will
provide some of the biggest unin
tentional laughs ol the holiday
season It features a relentlessly
awful soundtrack including that
perennial favorite "Hooray for
Santy Claus "
Holiday Inn Perhaps you've
heard the song, "White Christ
mas" or even seen the movie by
the same name That film is a
reworking of this vastly superior
movie from 1942 about a country
inn that's only open during the
holidays and a love triangle
between Bing Crosby. F red
Astaire and Mar|orie Reynolds
It's merely an excuse to feature a
fabulous Irving Berlin soundtrack
with songs revolving around vari
ous holidays It's the perfect
movie to watch with the family
Whether you watch these
movies or none at all, it is my
hope that your time spent is in a
manner that reminds you of the
best things in life
