Prior to that, he had sung with the choir from 1999 to 2008. He loved his time with the choir, but thought he and his wife, Lucie, would spend much of their time serving missions.

David Archuleta. Need I say more? For many teenage girls -- me included! -- not at all!

Now, if you throw in a dash of nostalgic, classic Christmas charm, a stage actor retelling a magical and historical story, and music of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, parents are just as eager to join in the festivities. This year's "Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra," with special guests David Archuleta and Michael York, was impressive and heartwarming!
