Blue Christmas (holiday)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Blue Christmas, also called the Longest Night, in the Western Christian tradition, is a day in the Advent season marking the longest night of the year.[1] On this day, some churches hold a church service that honours people that have lost loved ones in that year.[2] The Holy Eucharist is traditionally a part of the service of worship on this day.[3]
