On a cold Christmas Eve, he daydreams to escape his lonely life: he muses about being a man of culture and means, an ice dance at Temple Square, a sleigh ride, as well as the conductor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and also imagines himself in the stable with Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus. let me know your thoughts on this film by sending me a message to [email protected] Final Thoughts A man of faith, Stewart played the venerable Mr. Krueger and spoke highly of the TV special, saying he hoped it would help promote the true meaning of that holiday in remembering Christ's birth. This is always a great film to watch around the holidays. It is charming and magical. Jimmy Stewart will always be an honorary Mormon, and  I looked this up on my premium account on ancestry.com, I am so relieved that Stewart’s temple work has been done for him not just once, but three different times just to be sure. #CovenantPath
