this is a poem written by Henry Longfellow that was written during the civil war. He hears the Christmas bells off in the distance as the war rages on and is synical about God. Then realizes that despite the war, the Christmas spirit manages to survive. Beautiful message.

On Christmas morning 1863, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was melancholy. Undoubtedly the deaths of his two beloved brides and news that his 19 years old son had been wounded in battle haunted him.
Hearing the sound of the town's bells pealing that Yuletide morning, Longfellow sat at his desk and picked up his pen, the anguish still gripping his very soul.
He composed three quick stanzas of a poem he entitled "Christmas Bells."

This song is on of my favs. Kinda cool how it was wrote over a hundred yrs ago but i love the casting crown version. The whole thing of the song is that his son died in the civil war and his wife got burnt really bad and he wrote it the first Christmas he was with out them.

@ferrelltara Hi. I'm not religious either. I'm just a Christian. Religion has nothing to do with our belief in Jesus as the Saviour. God Bless you for the comment though. Have a Merry Christmas.

No person is ever at peace.We are born with a hole in our hearts & constantly looking to fill it with worldly things...but it can only be filled with the love of Jesus Christ.This is the gift of our Creator God.For He loved us so much He gladly sent His own Son to calvery for us. so we shall not die but have everlasting life with Him.Let all who have ears let them hear.

lmao, you're funny.
I have to admit, that was a very good joke. Because IF you were serious, like I know you're not, you'd have to go to a insane mental institution.

This Casting crowns is a really boring and unmusical version. There's much better renditions elsewhere.
