Christmas Carols in Finnish

We attended the annual Christmas carol sing-along at the Jyväskylän Kaupunginkirkko (City Church) today. I never knew Silent Night (the song) was translated into Finnish. We tried our best to sing along in Finnish (which was actually really good pronunciation practice.) There was even one song sung in English, Do you Hear What I Hear, it gave me chills to hear a familiar song that carries with it such warm Christmas feelings. At one point during the program an instrumental group was playing a song (without singing) and they all of a sudden stopped the music. The harpist dug in his pocket, held up his ringing cell phone, fiddled with it a bit, stuck it back in his pocket, and the group played on. It was a funny moment, no one really seemed to be put off by it--not even the harpist came off as embarrassed. Finns have a way of easily suppressing their emotions and just playing cool.
