sorry for laughing...

but I saw the list of songs on this CD, and there is one song which has absolutely nothing to do with christmas. Sorry for saying that.

It is song number 6 - Oh du lieber Augustin... Belong to a legend, there was a man called Augustin in Vienna (Austria) around 1680...

The great plague of 1679 gave rise to the legend of Lieber Augustin ("Dear Augustin"). Augustin was a popular street musician, who, according to the legend, fell into a pit with bodies of plague victims, late at night when he was drunk. Augustin did not contract the disease, which may have been owed to the influence of the alcohol.

Augustin is remembered in the popular folk song Oh du lieber Augustin.
