Song:
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may allYour Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
'Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white
Christmas with you
Jingle Bells
All the way, all the way

Song in Swedish:
Jag drömmer om en vit jul

Precis som de jag brukade komma ihåg
Där trädtopparna glittrar
Och barnen lyssnar

För att höra bjällror klinga i snön

Jag drömmer om en vit jul
Med i varje julkort jag skriver
Må dina dagar vara glada och ljusa
Och alla

Dina jular vara vita

Jag drömmer om en vit jul

Precis som de jag brukade komma ihåg
Där trädtopparna glittrar
Och barnen lyssnar

För att höra bjällror klinga i snön

Jag drömmer om en vit jul
Med i varje julkort jag skriver
Må dina dagar vara glada och ljusa
Och må alla dina jular
Må alla dina jular
Må alla dina jular

Må alla dina jular vara vita

Jag drömmer om en vit
Jul med dig
Klingande bjällror

Hela vägen, hela vägen

Svåra ord:
Glisten - Glittra
Jingle Bells - Klingande bjällror

A Big Event in the 1940's

After that the world war 2 ended, there was manny people and mostly in Europe, that was now completely destroyed and completely bombed out, decided and hoped that this would NEVER happen again. And to make this wish come true, they put together the allied states that had fought against the shoulder forces. Thus the countries that was named to have "won" the war.
The United Nations Conference on International Organization launched in San Francisco the 25th of April 1945, while in Europe they still tried to take out Nazi-Germany.

The United Nations was founded in 1945 the 24th of October. At the foundation there were 51 sovereign states as members, and since July 2011, when South Sudan became occupied, the organization has 193 members, which means that almost all of the world's sovereign nations are included.

The name of the organization goes back dating to January the 1 in 1942. But it was actually suggested in 1941, but when the US was drawn into war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, they extended the declaration until the dust had settled. The name "United Nations" was coined by the American President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the British Prime Minister when they accepted the proposal.
