The White House reported that Omarosa Manigault Newman, one of President Donald Trump's most prominent African-American supporters, plans to leave the administration next month. TV Guide once included her as one of the 60 Nastiest TV Villains of All Time. But folks don't know why she was hired in the first place, or why she was allegedly fired at last?

Once upon a time, begins an ancient story of the real silent night. This historical gem is said to have begun in Oberndorf, a village near Salzburg, back in the year 1818 on Christmas Eve. Joseph Mohr, a Catholic curate was preparing Christmas services, so he tried to play the church organ, but it wasn’t working because mice chewed through the bellows.
Mohr then went out to visit members of the community, including one family with a sick baby. Mohr was apparently awed by the peace that lay over the scene. It reminded him of the need for music for the service, so he recalled a poem he previously wrote, which he then took to a schoolteacher and organist from a neighboring village named Franz Gruber, who composed “Silent Night” and performed it for the first time that night in Oberndorf, but playing guitar instead of the organ.
