I am not a Christian, never was, but I can't listen to Silent Night without tears coming to my eyes. May there be peace on earth for all beings.

Same here. Not very religious, but when I attend Mass every Xmas Eve, silent night literally brings goosebumps to my skin...

Have you ever watched the film Joyeux Noel?

No I haven't. Seems apropos. For some strange reason, the description reminds of of Erich Maria Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front," which doesn't have much joy in it.
