<span style="color: #222222;">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. </span></p><p><span style="color: #222222;">We give our personal updates, talk about our 2020 holiday thoughts, and then share some mostly (but not altogether) happy Christmas memories. </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 and joyous <br />2021.</span><br />
