Hey, have you ever listened to “Christmas in Heaven” by Scotty McCreery? I came across it the other day, and it really touched my heart. You know, the holidays can be a tough time when you’re missing someone special, and this song captures that feeling perfectly. McCreery’s voice carries so much warmth and sincerity—it feels like he’s speaking directly to all of us who’ve felt that empty space at the dinner table.
What’s beautiful about the song is how it blends the joy of Christmas with the bittersweet memories of loved ones who’ve passed on. It doesn’t shy away from the sadness but somehow leaves you with a comforting sense of peace. It makes me wonder what Christmas must be like in heaven, and it brings a little solace thinking they’re celebrating too, just in a different place.
Listening to it made me reflect on my own memories and reminded me that it’s okay to feel a mix of emotions during the holidays. If you haven’t heard it yet, I think you’d really connect with it. It’s one of those songs that stays with you long after it’s ended, wrapping you in a gentle embrace of nostalgia and hope

Lyrics
December hasn’t changed
This town looks the same
They still light that tree in the city square
There’s red, white, and green shining everywhere
And I wish you were here
And I wonder
Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
I wonder, what Christmas in Heaven is like
There’s a little manger scene
Down on Third and Main
I must’ve walked right by it a thousand times
But I see it now in a different light
‘Cause I know you are there
And I wonder
Are you kneeling with shepherds before Him now
Can you reach out and touch his face
Are you part of that glorious holy night
I wonder
What Christmas in Heaven is like
Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
Oh I wonder
What Christmas in Heaven is like
