This is Ruth A Harris' first-ever Christmas release. It was written on the approach to Christmas in 2021, when Ruth was mourning the loss of 3 friends. The song is an emotionally real but hopeful reminder that Christmas is a time of remembering the birth of Jesus, which wasn't all happy families and turkey dinners—it involved possible scandal, Jesus and his family becoming refugees.
The song reminds us that we have hope for the future because this isn't the end of the story, and God is with us in the mess of life. Ruth hopes that this Christmas song will bring comfort to people who don't feel like celebrating this Christmas.
Ruth lives in Birmingham, United Kingdom, with her husband and two teenagers. She enjoys singing in a local community choir, playing in a clarinet quartet, and being a part of her local church's worship and AV team, in addition to exploring her ability to write and produce music.
