Sad Christmas Songs Say So Much
Some people listen to all kinds of Christmas music and others carefully choose what they like to hear. There is nothing wrong with listening to these beautiful but sad Christmas songs if your heart aches for someone. Even sad songs bring memories shining through and can even make us smile when we remember. So I hope your Christmas will be merry and bright and enjoy these poignant songs. I have sandwiched them between two of the most beautiful that are favorites of mine beginning with “Blue Christmas” by Elvis and ending with “Pretty Paper” by Roy Orbison.

Throw Out the Lifeline to the Needy
Throw Out the Lifeline is a wonderful and inspirational hymn from 1890 with words and music by Edwin S. Ufford. It reminds us that Jesus saves and so we must keep Christ in Christmas and put aside the commercialism. Christmas was never meant to be a holiday made for spending money or giving out the most expensive presents it is Jesus' birthday and Jesus was born poor. Christmas is a time to take a look at those around us who are poor and needy and who need some holiday cheer if only someone would be so kind as to help them out with a loving hand, a smile, and understanding. Take a look around your area and see where you can donate toys for poor children and clothing or even food. There are usually many Christmas drives at this time of the year. Let’s remember those who are so much less fortunate than we are, those who don’t have any family or friends. This time of the year is the hardest for those who are homeless not only because of the cold but also because you can imagine how they feel out there on the street while all around them brightly lit Christmas trees are glowing.

Moment in Time
There is but a moment in time when we are who we are - a moment to live and to die. * There is but a moment in time when we can do the dance of life, like colorful butterflies filling summer skies. when we can rejoice - in the awakening that is spring.
