Music Monday: "Where are you Christmas" by Faith Hill

from Happiness through Creating · host Brian Barlow

In this episode of Happiness Through Creating, we gently explore a question many of us hold close during the holiday season: Where did our joy go? Together, we dive into the song “Where Are You, Christmas?” a song that beautifully reflects the space between who we once were, who we’re becoming, and how our experience of happiness shifts along the way.As we walk through some of the song’s lyrics, we unpack what they reveal about emotional well-being, identity, and the very real feeling of disconnection that can arise when life changes. We explore why happiness sometimes feels distant — not because it has disappeared, but because we have grown, and our joy is inviting us to grow with it.We discuss what it means to rearrange our inner world during seasons of transition, how to reconnect with parts of ourselves that we may have buried under the weight of responsibility or grief, and why joy isn’t seasonal. It’s something we actively create through intention, love, compassion, and connection.This episode is for anyone who feels like the holidays don’t look or feel the way they used to. For those whose traditions have shifted, whose circumstances have changed, or who simply feel out of sync this time of year. We share gentle, creative questions that can help rebuild meaning, rekindle connection, and rediscover the joy that may feel missing.By the end, I hope you’ll feel what the song so powerfully teaches: joy isn’t something we wait for or chase down. It’s something we create, moment by moment, expression by expression — even in seasons of change.Here is a link to the song: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1qXL1cEgi4 You can learn even more by following on: Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/briancbarlow⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/briancbarlow/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/briancbarlow/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.creatorsopposition.com/⁠⁠
