    Podcast #042 - Blue Christmas II: Home for the Holidays

    "Home for the Holidays" Alan and Em revisit the concept of Blue Christmas, which they covered last year on Episode 35. These are services that allow churches to make space for people who aren't quite ready to celebrate the season. But given the way that 2020 went, we're pretty sure that EVERYONE is dealing with loss, discouragement, and depression this year.  We give our personal updates, talk about our 2020 holiday thoughts, and then share some mostly (but not altogether) happy Christmas memories. Merry Christmas, seasons greetings, happy holidays, and we wish all out listeners a blessed and joyous 2021. Click on the player below to listen to the episode:   Right-click to download the episode.
