The song always reminded me of a Christmas music box that was a gift to someone in my family in 1962. It was very much like this one

You'd wind it up by rotating the pedestal on the bottom, and then it played "Silent Night" and slowly rotated around.

It was the absolute favorite of my youngest brother who was about 5 months old that Christmas.

He was a twin and we lost his twin sister at age six weeks, and whenever he got fussy, we'd wind up this angel and he'd just adore it -- calmed him right down. I don't know how long it lasted, but he just had to have it.
