Did you know I've never made a Christmas video before? It's true. I have a complicated relationship with Christmas music, and I've always been hesitant to bring that into my work, but there are a couple songs that really resonate with me, and the Carol of the Bells tops that list, so I figured after all this time, I should probably try talking about it. And then I started reading up on the history and... y'all. It's such an incredible story. I can't believe I didn't know where this song came from, and if you're anything like me, you won't believe it either.
