<br />
<span style="color: #222222;">Alan
and Em are not discussing the Elvis song in this episode. Instead, they
are talking about the growing trend of "Blue Christmas" services, in
which churches make space for people who aren't quite ready to celebrate
the season, but are instead dealing with loss, grief, discouragement,
and the general stresses of modern life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222;">Merry Christmas, seasons greetings, happy holidays, and we wish all out listeners a blessed 2020.</span><br />
