The only sad Christmas song I've ever heard was The Christmas Shoes. It's about a little boy who is begging for money to buy his dying mother a pair of shoes so that she'll look beautiful when she dies.
Makes me cry every time I listen to it. So I don't listen to it often
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. Why on earth would someone write such a sad song for the holidays? Why would a store play it? I can't imagine someone thinking it spread Christmas cheer.
