My grandma always sang it in German on Christmas Eve. She was an NYC public schoolteacher for 50 years, and went to work every day because her job was to manufacture Americans.
For the tenth straight year, by popular request, I am NOT singing in the choir.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
