Review: Tabernacle Choir Christmas Show on PBS

While not especially religious, I very much love Christmas music, decor, and the holiday festivities. Over the decades I suppose I've seen the LDS Tabernacle Choir show on PBS from Salt Lake City dozens of times.

Last night the other DrC and I watched the Tabernacle Choir and orchestra Christmas show. It may have been the best one ever, certainly the best I've ever seen. If you like Christmas music, do see this year's show.

Broadway's Michael Maliakel was their soloist and was amazing. And they did a bit on Victor Hugo's penchant for simple charity which, if accurate as I assume it was, taught me things about the author I didn't know. 

Plus I dare say you will never see so many wholesome, happy people gathered in one place, dressed to the nines, performing in absolute unity and with great skill, anywhere else on this planet. That spectacle alone is very special.
