Silent Night: The Story of the Christmas Carol (14x25)

:

Silent Night: The Story of the Christmas Carol opens on a family being bothered by carolers, ironically making the night less silent with their droning. From there a narrator whisks us off into history, specifically the tiny village of Oberndorf, Austria where the song was born. We don’t want to give away too many spoilers, but it involves a priest walking down a hill, a musician with the sideburns of a 60s country singer, and the true hero of the tale: a traveling organ-mender. Yes, somehow wandering remote European villages and asking if they had any organs to mend was once a job. Nowadays doing that would just get you dirty looks, and possibly arrested. We’ve had enough depictions of Batman and Spider-Man’s origin stories, it’s time to learn one that nobody else at the holiday party will know. Buckle up for the soothing ride of your life, join Mike Kevin and Bill for Silent Night: The Story of the Christmas Carol!
