A selection of some of my favorite Christmas carols. A daily event through Christmas.

Today’s selection: Tennessee Ernie Ford – “O Holy Night” – 1847/1958

Written by a French poet as a song to celebrate a Christmas Mass dedication of new stained glass windows. Translated into English in 1855, certain verses were modified to allow a “singable translation”. It was the first song played over radio in 1906. It is considered to be the most popular Christmas song – it’s certainly my favorite.

This version was recorded in 1958.
