It is not that this music drowns the wails of Rachel. Rather that songs of jubilant praise and desolate heartache both have a place in our songbook.
Christmas brings into focus the extremes of life. Families gathered and separated, laden tables in warm houses and hungry homeless shivering outside, squealing children opening presents at the tree and an empty chair at the table. It is the best of times and the worst of times. Maybe you can see a better time when all your dreams come true but that may just be a fairytale.
This dissonance leads to a greater appreciation of the reason for the season. I don’t know what song you will be singing this Christmas. If it is lament I pray that the good news of Jesus brings and sings some grace notes to your score. If it a symphony of happiness I hope it will harmonise with the requiems from the margins. I suspect for us it will be a bit of both on Christmas Day.
