Beautifully filmed and presented story behind the song Silent Night, obviously... Ruined a bit for me that some of the artists seemed to think it was about them....as well as the song. For me a choir presentation of this song hits the mark, though Bing Crosby effort is soothing in feeling and beauty....and not about him.

What, no Enya?
I loved watching this program. Silent Night is my all time favorite Christmas song. I was disappointed that Enya wasn't part of the cast. Her version of the song is sung in Gaelic. It is by far the most beautiful version that I've ever heard.
