Nollaig Shona Dhuit
I found this video of Enya singing Silent Night in Gaelic. Hat tip to Lew Scannon for discussing it in his latest post. I never knew it existed 'til I read about it in his Annual Christmas Rant at Unbrainwashed.
Big thanks to Enigma for posting it at Watergate Summer, as well.
Enya- Silent Night
As a fan of language, I couldn't resist swiping the list below from Ben Heine. Thank you, Ben.

Froggy and Sumo,
Merry Christmas to both of you, my friends.
WOW! You covered a lot there. Glad to see you saw fit to get it in French. Happy Holidays buddy!
Oui, Oui! Merry Christmas, Donnie. Let's hope next year brings more peace around the world.
My favorite way of saying Merry Christmas is with a hug. Now let's all get busy on this peace project.
Well said, PoP. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.
Great Post! Thanks for the credit.
