Daily Dialogue — December 23, 2013

“Adeste Fideles
Laeti triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte
Regem angelorum
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum

Cantet nunc io
Chorus angelorum
Cantet nunc aula caelestium
Gloria, gloria
In excelsis Deo
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum

Ergo qui natus
Die hodierna
Jesu, tibi sit gloria
Patris aeterni
Verbum caro factus
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum”
 
 — Joyeux Noël (2005), written by Christian Carion

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is Christmas.

Trivia: The football match depicted was probably inspired by the documented game between the 2nd Battalion The Royal Welsh Fusiliers and the Saxon Infantry who played football on Christmas Day 1914. In 2008 the British and German Army’s sent teams France to play a game of football in honor of their predecessors.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The universal language of music. The universal language of humanity. The universal language of peace.

NOTE: Do you have any suggestions for this week’s theme: Christmas? If you’re all tuckered out by the holidays or just need a break from Daily Dialogue, I’m happy to run with it this week. But if there’s a special movie or scene with a Christmas theme you’d like to see featured, please be my guest to post your suggestions in comments.
