This girl’s version of “Blue Christmas” is truly beautiful
Christmas isn’t complete without hearing the classic tune that is Blue Christmas.
And while nothing can beat the Elvis version, this seven-year-old’s rendition surely comes close – and it has a heartbreaking story behind it.
In November 2008, a then five-year-old Rhema Marvanne lost her mother, Wendi, to ovarian cancer. Two years later, at the tender age of seven, Rhema recorded Blue Christmas as a tribute to her mother. It was her favourite song.
Rhema told the Fort Hood Sentinel in 2010, "When I sing, it makes me think of my mother, which makes me happy. I want to take my gift and share with those who are still sad and try to make them happy again."
Although the video was originally uploaded in 2010, it has recently resurfaced, proving that the Christmas number is truly timeless.
