The sweet, blended voices of the choir provide a heavenly backdrop to the scenery. A perfect representation of the night a miraculous event unfolded on earth. This timeless holiday classic is sure to bring warmth and joy to any listener, and a reminder that even our darkest hours can lead to joyful moments of love and connection.
