NASHVILLE, Tenn. (December 12, 2023) — Amidst fervent attempts by some to erase the true meaning of Christmas, singer-songwriter Daniel Ball's latest music video, "Cold Day in December," has defied these challenges, garnering over 1 million views within just a short time of its release.

The song's powerful message about preserving the significance of Christmas and its roots in Jesus Christ has resonated deeply with audiences worldwide.

In a passionate statement, Daniel Ball emphasized the importance of the song's message, stating, "As I grow older, I become more selective in choosing my battles. This approach may lead to reduced conflict and stress, but it could also lead to unintended consequences. Silence isn't always the best choice. In our society, numerous causes are forcefully imposed upon us, while many of our enduring traditions and beliefs are dismissed as outdated or irrelevant. These changes can be subtle or, at times, blatant. This year, I've chosen to take a stand against those trying to cancel the real reason for the season. 'Cold Day in December' is a cautionary tale about what Christmas would become without Christ. I fully understand that this song will not be commercially popular, and it’s going to be an uphill battle to get it heard. My prayer is that it will awaken an army that has been silent for too long. Join me in a battle that is worth fighting. Let's keep Christmas alive!"

Despite facing opposition from those seeking to dilute the true essence of Christmas, Daniel Ball's unwavering dedication to preserving the holiday's spiritual significance has struck a chord with audiences seeking to uphold its traditional values.





Reflecting on the challenges faced due to attempts to overshadow the holiday's roots, Ball shared, "When writing and recording this song, I recognized its message might not align with mainstream commercial tastes. However, its reception has exceeded expectations. Garnering over a million views in a short period of time lets me know that the song has clearly resonated with an audience that shares our concerns about the erosion of freedoms in our country."

The overwhelming success of "Cold Day in December" underscores the resilience of those who value the authentic spirit of Christmas. Despite efforts to diminish its significance, the song has become a rallying cry for individuals seeking to keep Jesus Christ at the center of the holiday.
