This week we share the untold story behing the writing of "Christmas Bells" written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. We now call the song "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day." In contrast to many happy-go-lucky songs, this carol deals with the profound grief surrounding the Civil War. However, Longfellow shared his hope in the last verse. Enjoy!
