Christmas is a time when many Americans take the opportunity to spend time with family. But the idea of being “home for holidays” has a different meaning for people who have lost loved ones. Family traditions like decorating the tree, stuffing stockings, giving gifts, and cooking a big meal aren’t quite the same when a person who has been part of them for a long time passes on.
Most Christmas songs focus on the season’s cheer. But on his holiday album “Christmas with Scotty McCreery,” the country singer took time to think about those who are missing that special person when December comes around with a unique track called “Christmas in Heaven.”
