Sad Christmas Songs to hit you right in the feels

[smahala1991]

Pretty Paper- Roy Orbison

A Christmas Song about a Christmas Paper Salesman who no one pays any attention to, and he feels lonely in the midst of the Holiday Season. This song was written by Willie Nelson. For Roy Orbison's #1 fan @llorando

If We Make it Through December- Merle Haggard

This song is about a laid-off factory worker who can't afford Christmas and His daughter cannot understand why.

The Christmas Shoes-Newsong

Quite possibly the saddest Christmas song and most despised because of the sadness.

Happy Christmas (War is over)- John Lennon

It Could Happen Again (Christmas 1914)-Johnny Cash and Collin Raye

This song tells the story of the World War 1 Christmas Truce that lasted for 2 days amongst British Empire, French, and German Soldiers.

Christmas is meant to be happy, but sometimes there are Christmas songs which are rather sad and have a good message to them.

Roy Orbison's Pretty Paper will always be my favorite Christmas Song. Did you know Pretty Paper was originally written by Willie Nelson?

The Christmas truce was indeed one of the greatest things to happen during a time of war. The fact that a Christmas melody (Silent night) managed to bring out the best of both sides is amazing.

The Christmas shoes always makes me blubber like a baby, if only mother can have a pair of shoes if would make her smile and I want her to look beautiful if mamma meets Jesus tonight. I know there is a kid in the inner city like that somewhere, that is losing his mother and only wants to make her happy before she dies..

I grew up listening to If Se Make it Through December! I love that song. Another one that makes me cry really hard is Christmas in Heaven by Scotty McCreery.

I know The Christmas Shoes. 👠👠 That song kills me. But I can sing it without my voice cracking or shedding a tear.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

The tune itself

[Aiko_E_Lara]

That's just a fantasy. I'll just give up on Christmas day instead.

I never knew Roy made a Christmas song.

[smahala1991]

The only one I think @Loorando would know more about that

[smahala1991]

[llorando]

Nope, not the only one technically as in 77 Roy along with Cash and others sang Silent Night during Christmas special that aired on TV.
