J. Dewveall<p>What do you do when the meaning of Christmas evaporates? Do you throw it out altogether?

J. Dewveall<p>Signing off the night with one last request for you to listen to “O Holy Night.” Christmas is a struggle for me - no longer believing in the birth narratives of Jesus, but still finding the stories meaningful. My version is a musical expression of that conflict.</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0jPYua9ajbgf9GMuG34vDn?si=hLS27m5CQxy7vGDjpzJ2sA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.spotify.com/track/0jPYua9</span><span class="invisible">ajbgf9GMuG34vDn?si=hLS27m5CQxy7vGDjpzJ2sA</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/americana" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>americana</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/musodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>musodon</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/theologidons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>theologidons</span></a></span> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/newmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>newmusic</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/deconstructingchristianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deconstructingchristianity</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/christmasmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>christmasmusic</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/americanamusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>americanamusic</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/exvangelical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>exvangelical</span></a></p>

J. Dewveall<p>It’s not much, but I’m thankful for every listen. I released music for the first time in a decade &amp; pissed off a few conservative Christians. I call that a win!
