Weihnachten im Erzgebirge 2008 - Christmas in the Ore Mountains 2008

As every year the traditional "Pyramidenanschieben" ("Turning on of the Pyramid") took place at Gymnasium Olbernhau (Olbernhau Grammar School) in the middle of the Ore Mountains of Saxony, Germany. The musical programme included: "Leise rieselt der Schnee" ("Softly Sprinkles the Snow"), "Jingle Bells", "Erhörung" ("Hearing"), "'s Raachermannel" ("the Räuchermann"), "Weihnachtsglocken" ("Christmas Bells"), "In dulce jubilo", "Gloria in excelsis Deo", "Wenn's Weihnachten ist" ("When it is Christmas") and "Allegretto Sonata G dur", by Mauro Giuliani - all of which were performed by young local schoolkids.

Hä?

Es ist natürlich das Erzgebirge. Ich wohne gleich um die Ecke. Wie kommst du darauf, es wäre in den USA oder Australien? Seid wann singt man dort deutsche Weihnachtslieder? Bist du dumm?

Why should that not be the Erzgebirge.......it is definitely it.....nobody else is able to speak and sing this accent like they do!
