My mother was born in Berlin in 1935. She left Germany to the United States via Red Cross with my other family members. They worked, paid taxes, and later on became citizens. When I was born in early 50's, I remember the beautiful music my mother used to play during Christmas holidays. This is one of those songs which I remember from my childhood and listening to it takes me back to the time when I was very little, believing that Santa Claus would come and leave me a present because I was loved.
@Nguli34689 I also grew up listening to German Christmas music. My father bought a few records for us when he was on assignment in Wiesbaden and other Air Force bases. (He also brought back puppets!). This song in particular brings back so many beautiful memories of Christmases past.
@carolynmeredith The Christmas album pictured in the above video looks very much like the German Christmas album my parents played during the Holidays some 50 years ago. I enjoyed hearing your story of listening to German Christmas music and the puppets which your father brought back.
The last time I was in Germany was during the winter of 1975. Me and Karl rode our bicycles in the snow. Frauline Gretta had these ginger bread cookies which were coated with chocolate. Thanks for your memories.
@Nguli34689 When I hear this Christmas Carol, I begin to remember the taste of Frauline Gretta's Christmas pastries. They had so many of them in Frankfurt (Frauline Gretta was my mother's nanny in Berlin, Germany, during the war. M family was Russian, so they were considered "non-citizens" but we were under the protection of Albert Goering, Herman's half-brother who my grandmother met when she was a silent film actress. My maternal grandmother went under the stage name of Alexandra Sorina).Thanx
I have enjoyed the vocal piano and forte when the singers sang such a touching song.
Mama played this every Christmas. She was born in Germany in 1935. She brought back the beauty of Europe home to the United States and left the ugliness of war behind.
Ich wünscht ich wäre nochmal Kind. Weihnachten war für mich das schönste...die vielen lichter, der schmuck, die Plätzchen, der Weihnachtsbaum. Man brauchte sich noch keine sorgen über die Zukunft machen, hat einfach in den Tag hinein gelebt. Ich liebte es...am Heiligabend haben wir immer Märchen geguckt bis die Glocke geklingelt hat.Und kaum ist man erwachsen besteht das Leben aus pflichten, stress und arbeit. Ich frage mich wo die zeit geblieben ist..das leben geht zu schnell vorbei
Weihnachten ist nicht vorbei wenn man kein "Kind" mehr ist.
Hab ich anfangs auch gedacht aber ich freue mich immer noch wie ein kleines Kind auf Weihnachten und erfreue mich auch noch an den Lichtern, Dekoration, den Märchen und allen drum und dran...
Das nenne ich echte Weihnachtsmusik, nicht verpackt in Pop-Musik. So kenne ich es aus meiner Kindheit, Christbaum schmücken, der Duft von Vanille und Zimt, Besinnlichkeit, ich liebe es. Danke für den Clip.
Mann, das erinnert mich immer an Weihnachten bei meiner Oma, da haben wir auch immer Weihnachtslieder auf einer kratzigen Schallplatte angehört..... Bis sich Opa eine Cd gekauft hat :-(

@GoettinSxR Es ist unvorstellbar, wie ich mit ihnen so sehr uebereinstimme. Ich habe zu oft die genauen gleichen Gedanken im Kopf.
