Holidays Are Hard by Lorna Lovell

Music
Written By Robert Hiscock

Holidays ARE hard.

The more I’m expected to feel happy the harder it is to find the joy. Sometimes holidays only seem to highlight all that seems wrong — the ways life isn’t what it was and, maybe, will never be again.

I like that Corner Brook artist Lorna Lovell is bringing that thought to the forefront. Her 2021 release ‘Holidays Are Hard’ does it without be maudlin. It’s a great piece of Christmas country.

Well worth checking out.

More Christmas and Holiday Music from Newfoundland & Labrador

Stay tuned for more great Christmas songs from Newfoundland and Labrador.

I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening. Newfoundland and Labrador's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing local songs —both old and new— from now until Christmas in my 2022 NL Music Advent Calendar.
