Cherish the Ladies & Don Stiffe, The Christmas Letter

A song from the late 1800’s from Cherish the Ladies latest Christmas album, “Christmas In Ireland“, featuring Don Stiffe on lead vocals. It tells the sad story of forced immigration due to starvation and unemployment and a mother’s broken heart lamenting over the loneliness of a Christmas morning knowing that her family is forever torn apart and the only contact she’ll ever have is the letters that arrive for Christmas.
