"Silent Night"
-Lyrics by Joseph Mohr, 1816; Music by Franz Gruber

This was written by Germans. Here is the German version of the first verse:

1. Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute heilige Paar. Holder Knab im lockigten Haar, Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh! Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh! Sung by David Archuleta: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=silent%20night&qs=n&form=QBVR&pq=silent%20night&sc=8-17&sp=-1&sk=#view=detail&mid=380F957C121A07363AFF380F957C121A07363AFF "Sleigh Ride" -1948, Mitchell Parish and Leroy Anderson House with synced lights: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=song+sleigh+ride&FORM=HDRSC3#view=detail&mid=D5E5D135CD3FD7B33A0ED5E5D135CD3FD7B33A0E "Deck the Halls" -This was an old Welsh dancing song. The words were added later by John Hughes. It is thought that the "Fa la la la la" part was meant to be filled with words but it never happened.
