In a letter to General Authorities and priesthood leaders in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas — geographical areas that will receive the satellite transmission — President Boyd K. Packer noted that the devotional has been scheduled early in the Christmas season so that it can be videotaped for later use. "Leaders may use all or portions of the devotional with local Christmas programs," wrote President Packer, acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve.
"This devotional, which is for all family members, will include Christmas messages from the First Presidency and music by the Tabernacle Choir."
