Welcome back to the Here We Are podcast. Christmas is coming quickly, and today Dallas shares a joyful Christmas song — Come On, Ring Those Bells — celebrating Jesus, the true reason we gather, give, and rejoice this time of year.

After the song, he tells a childhood story from Christmas Eve at his Aunt Lorena’s house — a simple but powerful tradition of finding the “birthday card for Jesus” under the tree. Inside was always a gift for someone in need, a reminder that Christmas is about giving as Christ first gave to us.

May this little memory encourage you to pause in the middle of the season’s busyness and remember the One we’re truly celebrating.
Jesus — our Savior, our King, and the greatest gift ever given.

Merry Christmas.
If this brought back a Christmas memory of your own, share it in the comments.
Let’s encourage one another as we celebrate Jesus’ birthday together.

Come On, Ring Those Bells
by Dallas Holm
Album: Holm For Christmas

Everybody likes to take a holiday
Everybody likes to take a rest
Spending time together with the family
Sharing lots of love and happiness.

Come on, ring those bells,
Light the Christmas tree,
Jesus is the king
Born for you and me.
Come on, ring those bells,
Every-body say,
Jesus, we remember
This your birthday.

Celebrations come because of something good.
Celebrations we love to recall
Mary had a baby boy in Bethlehem
The greatest celebration of all.

Come on, ring those bells,
Light the Christmas tree,
Jesus is the King
Born for you and me.
Come on, ring those bells,
Every-body say,
Jesus, we remember
This your birthday

Merry Christmas, friends!

Holiday Inn
By Dallas Holm

Well, they rode into town in the dark
By the light of the moon
Mary felt her Baby and she knew
That it was coming soon
All they needed was a small room
Where she could lay her head
And all they wanted for Jesus was a bed

Well, they stopped at the Holiday Inn
There was a convention
They said, "Sorry, ain't got no room
Without a reservation
But I'm sure if I call ahead
Well, I can find you a bed
But you might have to wait
'til morning instead"

Well, if they'd known Baby Jesus was King
And if they'd known He created everything
I feel sure they'd given Him the executive suite
But as it was, they just got sent on down the street

Well, they walked a bit further
'Til they came to another inn
And the man said, "Sorry, we're full
But y'all come back again"
Well, now Joe said it could not wait
'Cause it was getting late
He said, "My wife's going to have
A Baby today"
See upcoming country shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

Well, the man said, "All I've got to offer
Is a little old shack
And you can find it if you look real hard
It's out around back
Well, chase those cattle out
And move some things about
I'll see you in the morning
And don't forget to check out"

Well, if he'd known Baby Jesus was King
And if he'd known He created everything
I feel sure He'd found them a better place to stay
But as it was, Baby Jesus got born there in the hay

Well, now I know that my Jesus
Well, He's King
And I know He created everything
That's why I've given Him
The best room from the start
And that's why Jesus
Makes His home inside of my heart

As Christmas approaches, I’m reminded of something simple and beautiful: every light we see is a small reminder that Jesus arrived, stepped into history, and changed the world forever.

This season stirs up childhood memories, favorite carols, and even a few funny stories—but it all points back to one truth: Christ came with purpose, and every part of His story leads us back to the cross and the hope we have in Him.

I pray this season draws your heart closer to Jesus. What Christmas song or memory helps you slow down and remember the true meaning of it all?

"Am I just one more old guy on the downhill side of life?" I asked myself this years ago when the concert crowds thinned and the radio plays stopped. Maybe you've wondered something similar as your season changed.

In this conversation with Jennifer, we explore a profound truth: When God moves us from the front lines to the rear guard, He's not retiring us - He's qualifying us for something deeper. Like the tribe of Dan who picked up the wounded and weary, our later seasons often carry our most important assignments.

I'll never forget the night in a tiny Arizona mountain church with just 50 people. An 80-year-old man who'd resisted Christ his entire life finally surrendered. Then it happened again the next night. God whispered: "See? All those big arenas were just preparation for this."

Whether you're navigating retirement, empty nesting, or wondering if you're still significant - this message is for you. Your relationship with God is the only thing you truly control. If you're living in humble obedience to Him, then wherever you are is exactly where He has you.

Remember: We're stewards, not owners. We're called to faithfulness, not fame. And little is much when God is in it.

Welcome to a little tour of my new cabin. As I share this new chapter, I’m reminded of Jesus’ words: “In my Father’s house are many rooms.” Our earthly homes may change, but His promise remains. He’s preparing a place for each of us.

The story doesn’t end with the crowd’s fear—Jesus’ compassion continued to work through the man who was healed. Sent back to his community, he shared his testimony, spreading hope where there had once been despair. His transformation became a living message: no one is beyond the reach of God’s love. Even when others don’t understand, our changed lives can point people to Christ’s power and grace.
