O Holy Night is the best Christmas song ever. No other comes even close.
Did you know that O Holy Night wasn’t even written by a believer? The author, Placide Cappeau, was a French socialist who was asked to write a Christmas poem by the local parish priest. A couple of years later it was set to music to celebrate a new pipe organ. If you listen to the 3rd verse, a bit of the author’s political sentiment comes through with the breaking chains and slaves as brothers parts.
I agree though, it’s one of the best Christmas songs ever.
