"Among the most beloved and universal of all Christmas carols is Silent Night. The beloved seasonal song was first performed on Christmas Eve in a tiny Austrian church 200 years ago. For Christmas 2018 it is still the song that represents the story of Christ’s birth."

Carpenters (1978)

"This cover of “Silent Night” by the Carpenters is a simple rendition of the original song that mainly features the voice of Karen Carpenter. The arrangement of the instruments in the background, alongside Karen’s voice, mesh well together to form a cohesive Christmas track that retains the spirit of the original."

My favorite version of it is the one by Mannheim Steamroller. That's one of about four or five of their Christmas songs that would still make my favorites list....the majority have gotten seriously dated, to me at least.
