Chris Marchand continues the tradition of giving an annual Christmas Tent Talk this year by acknowledging the role sad Christmas songs play in our lives. Sometimes we simply cannot sing a happy song and instead need to sing something with more weight, something that allows us to lament. Chris touches on some of the classic "sad" carols as well as the music of present day songwriter Sufjan Stevens. Sean McCoy joins the second half of the episode for further reflection on the holiday and the songs that are part of our lives.

This episode was based off of Chris's recently published article of the same name with Christ and Pop Culture.
