Christmas
Dj Maksy & Michael Buble Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same, dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue, oh, snowflakes, are falling
That's when those blue memories start calling (hey)
You'll be doin' alright, with your Christmas of white
And I'll have a blue, blue, blue Christmas
(Oh, let's go, let's go)

(Woo)
(Alright J-man, let's go J)

And when those blue, oh, snowflakes, start falling
Well, that's when those blue ol' memories start calling
You'll be doin' alright, with your Christmas of white




And I'll, I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
Yes, I'll, I'll have a blue, oh, Christmas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Blue Christmas" express a feeling of loneliness and emptiness during the holiday season, particularly because the singer is without their loved one. The first verse sets the scene of a traditional Christmas with decorations of red on a green Christmas tree. However, the absence of the singer's loved one brings a sense of sorrow and melancholy that cannot be remedied by the festive decor. The second verse speaks of snowflakes falling and how they trigger thoughts of the lost loved one. The line "You'll be doin' alright, with your Christmas of white" suggests that the person they are addressing has moved on through the holiday season and is able to enjoy it without them, while the singer continues to experience the pain of their absence.


The repetition of "blue" throughout the song serves as a metaphor for the singer's emotional state, emphasizing their sadness and feeling of loss. The song is a reminder that the holiday season can be difficult for those who have lost someone or who are separated from those they love. It's a poignant expression of the American holiday experience and how it can be bittersweet for some.
