Tidings of Great Joy
Some years ago, a group of friends were eating dinner together at Christmastime, bemoaning the busyness of the season. With exasperation and perhaps a little resentment, they spoke of hectic schedules and heavy burdens. After listening patiently, one wise, seasoned woman humbly offered her opinion. “I love Christmas,” she said. “It is the most joyful of all seasons. I love seeing the eyes of little children light up on Christmas morning. I love giving gifts. I love being with my family. We just need to simplify and remember what we are celebrating.”[1]
Like magic, her words changed the tone of the conversation-and the hearts of her friends.
Many of us can relate to those who feel overwhelmed at Christmas. But we can also benefit from the optimism of this wise woman. There is, after all, a lot to love about Christmas-the lights, the decorations, the music, the gifts, and the gatherings can inspire joy if we allow them to point us to a silent night in Bethlehem, to “shepherds keeping watch over their flocks by night,” to a “babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger,” and to the angel who announced His birth.[2]
In many ways, that cheerful woman who shared her feelings about Christmas was a lot like that angel. On another occasion she said of the Christmas season: “I love everything about it. … Through it all there is an escalating awareness of the Savior. We will, sure as anything, read again about His birth in Luke. We will sing and listen to all kinds of music about Him. … But what does it all mean if it doesn’t do something to us inside?”[3]
The angel on that silent, holy night declared Christmas to be a time of “good tidings” and “great joy,” meant for “all people.”[4] We follow Him whose birth we celebrate when we share that joy with family, friends, even strangers. Thus we, in our small way, join the “heavenly hosts” who “sing Alleluia! Christ, the Savior, is born!”[5]

I'm listening on November 26, 2023! Very powerful! The Lord of Lords reigns with healing in His wings!
Praise GOD!
I lived in Salt Lake City for 20 yrs getting my undergrad and graduate degrees at the University of Utah. Every Thursday morning the “Tab Choir” had 2-3 hrs of practice. No ticket needed, just walked in quietly while ordinary folks walked in to share greetings, find their place, both choir and symphony orchestra. Of course the organ player “pulled out the stops” on the world’s largest organ.
I’m not LDS (Mormon) but quiet reflection and listening to a true heavenly chorus recharged me for another week. Then I’d get on my 10 speed Schwinn and head up to the campus.
Glorious days.

This is my first Christmas without my husband and my soul and spirit are so uplifted by this music today. Just exquisite. Thank you. Thank you.

So very sorry. That first year is tough.... so it goes with the following though it does get a little easier to bear. Just have to keep busy serving others and moving forward.
I lost my husband 8 years ago but it's just like yesterday but his spirit still lives with me
Their Christmas program is always uplifting. Thanks be to God!
A year ago we were all still recovering from the Covid pandemic. We really needed this broadcast. Thank-you to all the people who contributed your time, talents and willing hearts to make this happen.
May the Lord Continue to Shine his face upon you all of you !!!! I am a Musician and love Y'all !!!
Danke für dieses wunderbare musikalische Weihnachtsgeschenk. Es hat mich sehr ergriffen. Vielen herzlichen Dank.
25 hands down, I wonder why. Merry Christmas to them ❤️. As the Saviour said forgive them for they don't know what they doing.... Merry Christmas everyone everywhere 🙏❤️.
Thís is the sound of Heaven!
I can watch this performance over and over. Each Christmas season, I always go to this.
Simply breathtaking performances! Unmatched high caliber musicians and singers put altogether create something magical each time!
Muy onita mu'sica intrumento sabios
This performance of the "Holy night" by Kristina Chernoweth, accompanied by the Choir of the tabernacle, is the best in the world, it must be shown every Christmas, regardless of the quarantine.
This was originally Sandi pattys version. She sang this in the original key in the 90s, and later in the lower key as Kristen is doing. But, noone sang it better than Sandi.
Beautiful way to start a Special Christmas Morning❗️🎄❣️
What a grreat blessing and JOY to find this music here today!!! proving once again..the POWER of GOD, communion with each other.. AND MUSIC!!! to Uplift the Human Spirit..and cast out the darkness and fear that has reigned long enough on our Beloved Planet Earth!! AMEN, ALOHA and Merry Christmas to ALL from Hawaii.
The celebration of Christmas comes from the heart and spirit. This Tabernacle choir isn't mormon. Even better.
Not sure what you mean. They belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which used to be called by their nickname of Mormons from time to time. Same Church.
I made an error and they are Mormons.
How did I never hear of you before today??? Glorious Thank you ❤❤❤
Kristin just uncorked a stunning performance. It was awesome!!!!!!
🎄❤️Christmas with The Choir❤️🎄
In this pandemic situation I thought I would loose the spirit of Christmas, but after I see your Choir my spirit rise again, hope come again.
Amen! It touched my soul. Very beautiful!
Watching from the PHILIPPINES....inspired n delighted again to watch another presentation of musical rendition on this special second Sunday of December 2020...have a blessed day everyone
Beautiful music! This music lifts the Holy Spirit of Christmas in everybody´s heart! Thank you!
I have been so Blessed this Christmas watching and listening to all the wonderful words and music from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Guest Artists. This has been a Heartbreaking, horrendous year but the Light of God never left us and there were Miracles this year. Have Faith and Trust in God. Northern Ireland 🇬🇧
너무나도 좋아요. 아름다와요. 하나님께영광이요 땅엔 평화로다!
God bless you
I got this DVD from Deseret Book, and with our lovely sound system in our living room, I feel like God and his Son are with us personally. I love all of the yearly Tab Choir Christmas Concerts, and this one is such a lift to my soul. Get the DVD. I have some of past concert DVD’s, and they are priceless to me as well. This one is called, “Angels Among Us”....and you will truly feel them there!!
Glorious!!!
To have filled the Conference Center with such a declaration by Chenoweth then to end that glorious sound with total silence has to be stunningly humbling. I think the angels cheered and loved the effort, Chenoweth is wonderful and we could tell her heart went into that anthem. ❤❤
It's too divine ... Awesome performance, and what a singing.
Peace and love to the world!!!
Warm Greetings from Uganda. I love this choir. I feel uplifted in these very trying times. Merry Xmas to you all.
The best choir in the world...proud of u🥰
I agree with you
Have always enjoyed the Tabernacle Choir -- especially at Christmas !
🇲🇽 Wonderful! Thank you so much Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square for the opportunity to listen your celestial voices, the music 🎶 and inspired message. I'll go to a virtual Relief to Society class☺️😉😊

Chenoweth in the Cornish language means New House 'Chy Noweth ' : Kristin certainly gave 'Oh Holy Night' a new house and I loved it.
So beautiful!
Feliz navidad para todos mis hermanos que el amor y la paz de nuestro señor Jesucristo estés con todos ustedes muchas bendiciones ❤❤❤
Some previous performers of this song might have a stronger voice, but I love Kristen performance the best. She really puts emphasis on the song in whole and how she connects to the audience. Really make you feel the music and song. Spirit filled praises to our Lord o mighty.

I agree with every comment here.. beautiful, Glorious music & breathtaking songs... Then it dawned on me.. this was December 2020.. there's a global pandemic raging.. and we have several thousand singers, musicians & audience members, literally shoulder to shoulder, Singing... and No Masks!!?? I'm surprised the Temple put on a live concert this year =-0 ... or maybe there was no plague in Salt Lake City? =-}
This was recorded in 2018.
