This song, originally written and performed by Sufjan Stevens, has always stood out to me, both because it is unusually sad and because it is extremely honest. Even for those of us who love Christmas, it can be a complicated, stressful season that is filled with more tears than cheer. While I've certainly never had the experience detailed in these lyrics, I can relate to the underlying thought, and the hope that the meaning of the season will shine through our brokenness.
