On Christmas Eve in 1818, a blizzard stranded the tiny Village of Obendorf nestled in the Austrian Mountains. That same day, the people of St. Nicholass Church found their organ broken. So the priest and organist began composing a song that could be sung without an organ, yet beautiful enough to express their Christmas joy. All day and all night long they worked. And at midnight, the gentle carol Silent Night was born. The pure clear tones echoed through the hills. And the world has been captured by the beauty of that simple song ever since. Merry Christmas Eve from my family, to yours. Words cannot express my never-ending gratitude, how thankful I am for having each of you in my life. #myheartrunnethover
