For some, this Christmas is anything but merry. Empty chairs where a loved one once sat, the loss of a job and no presents under the tree, dreams for 2016 that didn’t come to fruition… our suffering stands in stark contrast to the bright red and green trappings we see all around us. When Christmas hurts, is there any hope to be found in the manger? You’ll find out today on Java with Juli. Grab a comfy chair and your hot cocoa and hear why, even more so in our pain, Christmas brings “glad tidings of great joy” to be celebrated.​
