這就是那天大衛接受電話訪問的結果，一篇非常深入的報導，因此需要大綱：
＃大衛小時候最喜歡的就是和家人一起，戴上聖誕老人帽，去給鄰居唱聖歌
＃這張聖誕專輯是大衛想要錄製的，因為他想要給大家獻上內心深處的音樂
＃專輯五個製作人有四個是猶他州人，表示大衛不忘本
＃其中一個製作人Bestor（Prayer of the Children的作者）說大衛是個有真材實料的歌手，他不只是要做一張慶祝聖誕的唱片，他希望十年後唱片仍然能夠流傳下去
＃給Angels We Have Heard on High, Ave Maria, Pat-a-pan伴奏的是捷克布拉格市立愛樂交響樂團（哇！）
＃Bestor說跟大衛合作把他的音樂提升到另外一個境界。
＃Bestor在大衛上張專輯也和大衛短暫的合作過，他說以前大衛很害羞，說話不多，現在還是一樣彬彬有禮，但是堅持己見，例如他花了5個小時就只為了要把Ave Maria唱好
＃大衛不認為自己是個完美主義者，只是盡力而已
＃大衛摩門教的背景對他選歌影響很大，他避開了比較輕鬆的聖誕歌，而選擇了更有聖誕意義的歌例如oh holy night
＃聖誕演唱會他一定要在猶他州舉辦幾場
＃唱片出版的日期寫成10月17號（錯了，大哥！是13號）
"This kid is the real
deal," Bestor said. What impressed the composer was that the soulful
Archuleta didn't want an album that would just be Bestor arranged the traditional hymns "Angels We Have Heard on
High" and "Ave Maria," and with Hancock, arranged "Pat-a-pan." On top
of writing additional lyrics and music for "Pat-a-pan" and playing
instruments on the songs, Bestor traveled to the Czech Republic to
conduct The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, which recorded the
strings that accompany all three of his songs. He also conducted the
orchestra on four other songs recorded for the album. "There are very few opportunities with singers that take my music
to a higher level," said Bestor, whose 21st annual Christmas concerts
will be held at Abravanel Hall Dec. 10-12. "I was smiling a lot through
the sessions." Archuleta had changed in the year between recording his first
album, which Bestor worked on briefly, and the new Christmas release.
Before, the teen seemed bashful and reluctant to speak up. This time
around, he was still polite but demanding of himself, evidenced by the
five hours he invested in singing Bestor's arrangement of "Ave Maria."
"He's not happy unless it's right," Bestor said. Archuleta shrugged off a suggestion that The influence of his devotion to The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints is apparent when looking at the album's song list.
Rather than novelty songs such as "Frosty the Snowman" or "Rudolph the
Red-Nosed Reindeer," Archuleta chose songs he called reverent, such as
"O Holy Night," "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Silent Night." While Archuleta will probably not show up outside your kitchen
windows to sing carols this year, he's planning a winter tour where he
will perform his Christmas songs to audiences. "I have to come to
Utah," he said with excitement in his voice.
