One of the most iconic Christmas carols of all time, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, is a favorite during the holiday season. But if you’re like me, though you’ve sung the song hundreds of times, you’ve never really listened to the words.

The holidays are upon us, and in what should be one of the happiest times of the year, so many continue to struggle with depression and anxiety.
