My Top 25 Christmas Recordings #4 Silent Night (Mannheim Steamroller)

Silent Night is my favorite Christmas song. I have so many memories tangled up in this song from so many Christmases. Hearing it brings a flood of reminiscence and emotion. This particular rendition is quiet and slow but had a story like feel to it. It is best listened to in a room at night, lit only by a Christmas tree preferably with snow falling outside the window.
