"Silent Night" is a beautiful poem written by Father Joseph Mohr for Christmas Eve and was composed by Franz Gruber. Originally the song was meant to be accompanied by an organ, but its pipes were chewed by a mouse. The guitar substituted for the organ.

Annalina Brant, Grace Homan, Madison Hunt, Sarah Miller helped to provide the  background of this Christmas song.
