This melancholic holiday tune explores the theme of longing and loneliness during a time typically associated with joy and togetherness. The singer expresses their sorrow over spending Christmas without a loved one, turning the festive colors of red and green into an overwhelming blue. The repeated phrase "blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas" underscores this intense feeling of sadness. Meanwhile, the contrasting imagery of the other person having a 'Christmas of white' suggests that they are moving on happily without sharing the same sense of loss. This juxtaposition amplifies the pain experienced by the singer. As such, "Blue Christmas" is a poignant reminder that holidays can also be a time of heartache for those separated from their loved ones.
