Keepsake Christmas Stories

Enjoy these wonderful Keepsake Christmas story narrations from The Tabernacle Choir’s annual Christmas concerts. Some of the stories have been traditional favorites, but most have been newly-written, or adapted from classic literature, or drawn from the pages of history.  Each of the stories were presented with a specially composed score performed by the Orchestra at Temple Square, often incorporating a beloved carol or a new Christmas song sung by the Choir.

Find the written text for these narrations in the book Keepsake Christmas Stories.
