I also love the hymn "O Holy Night" and consider it my favorite Christmas hymn. I have since I was a little boy. I'd like to share an interesting story about this hymn . I don't remember my exact age but we were starting to practice for our SS Christmas Eve program at Bethany Lutheran church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and I asked my SS teacher if we could sing O Holy Night in the program. Her responce was no, that it was too Catholic. I believe her take on this was that the term Holy is only applied to the Godhead himself and not a night. Interesting!!! I still love the hymn.
