Gorgeous song!
It always evokes a feeling of total loneliness and regret inside me. It talks all about the Christmas holidays (and if you listen, it's a mash up of 'jingle bells!). She's talking about these lovely holiday images, putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy etc. All she wants to do is get away from it all, and it's suggested that she ended a relationship she maybe shouldn't have. "I made my baby say goodbye, he tried hard to help me, and I'm selfish and I'm sad, now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had."
It seems to me that her inner sadness is at odds with the lovely season. Everyone is happy, but all she thinks about is how stupid she's been and wants to escape instead of enjoying the holiday. Speaking as someone who has finished with a partner by making too rash a decision, I connect with it. It makes me remember how deeply disappointed I felt with myself, regret was the key feeling.
Good luck with your cab! Give me a shout if you want to chat some more about it all. I specialise in vocal performance and just got my degree (yahoo!) xx
