God Rest You Merry Gentlemen has to be my favorite of carols. This video was extremely fascinating, as always. I knew the origins of Silent Night were humble, but I did not know so much of the population was so enamored with finding them. And I am also going to henceforth feel very festive whenever someone brings up the topic of printing presses. Thank you, my friend! I wish you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
