Christmas: Jesus Christ is a Light in the Dark Times

Every year the week before Christmas, St. Peter's Church in Purcellville, VA hosts a "Blue Christmas" service.

The aim is to offer a message of hope and comfort to those who might not be feeling so holly jolly during the holidays. Heaven knows, there are many reasons to feel blue this Christmas. From the senseless, tragic loss of innocent life in New Town, CT, to the seemingly intractable political divide paralyzing our nation's capital, to the escalating tensions in the Middle East. It would be easy to give in to feelings of hopelessness, to let the long and dark December nights lull us into a mood of depression and despair. Ref. Source 5
