About the Song

Composed by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson, Blue Christmas appeared in the late 1940s with early recordings by Doye O’Dell and Ernest Tubb, but it was Elvis Presley’s 1957 version that turned the song into a seasonal classic. Its gently swaying rhythm and expressive melodic line capture the melancholy side of Christmas, contrasting bright festivities with the ache of being apart.

The lyric’s simple images of lights, tinsel, and “blue” memories have made Blue Christmas a favourite in concerts, services with a reflective moment, and community gatherings during Advent and Christmas. Its mood of longing and love resonates with listeners who find the holidays bittersweet, offering space for remembrance while still sharing the warmth of familiar music.
