The Last Christmas

Typically, talk around this time of year centers around the arrival of Jesus heralding the first Christmas. But I just wanted to share this moving song by Sixpence None the Richer that takes a different tact -- the last christmas without Jesus.

And listen for my favorite lyrics of all late in the song:

I feel your heart beating inside my own skin
And I think of Mary in Bethlehem
When darkness was shattered, the dawn of god's grace
And the journey began to the first easter day

On this last christmas the last christmas
The last christmas the very last christmas
The last christmas the last christmas
The last christmas without you
