I love how it says Copyright 2008 by Great Depression Publishing

[StoneMcStone]

Glad to see i'm not quite so alone with the Bah HumBugs. Yeah my Bf asked if would be ok if he went to the annual "Family" Christmas-Eve dinner alone. To top it off he stayed the night to truly leave me alone for both days. Yeah he got back 6 pm Christmas day. Sux, sux, & a humbug kinda suck to. Love your voice, your songs, & thanks for being there when "he" wasn't. (0_~)

[Eilan1108]

My favorite Christmas-Song !!!!

[razorkilldemise]

This song describes EXACTLY how I am feeling at the moment. Thank you, Jay.

[DangerousTemptations]

I've been waiting for Christmas so I can share this song with everyone. :P

<3

[terrygblues]

Awesome!

[julzabro]

Very nice!

[MisterMusic74]

[alleermed]

I like this song Jay :)

[HilaryHaylieRocks08]

this is great dude i write songs also!!!

[stephanephelus]

I just wanna say your lyrics are cheesy.... AND I LOVE THEM!!!! :D

Because its my life. My cheesy life is in your songs. :D

[toddsharpe]

I found you Jay Brannan while I was searching for Good mother By Jann Arden I never knew what I was going to find when I clicked on your cover I wanted to hear one of my favorite artists through somebody elses point of view and in turn I found my Fav all time male artist you.Thanks you for everything you do .your music soothes my soul I love you.I relate even more I think because of the lyrics you write seems like you know my life :)

[toddsharpe]

I have listened to artists like Jann Arden on repeat throughout my life because because at times when I felt broken and theres a hole where my heart use to be this music sings me back to life, makes my heart beat again and helps me feel.

[marilyndarlingshow]

yeah i just had a full blown panic attack listening to this thanks i love you and all but panic attacks are not fun

[osmosinsane]

Respect man respect... this what i give u.

And this what i asked santa this year lol...

Hard to get a happy christmas when people purposely sh*t on u...

Peace bro take it easy, merry Xmas

[MaryLovecraft]

Fantastic song

I hope your heart is full again very soon, Jay

[dvddude91]

i know how you feel. I really dont feel like celebrating christmas this year either because my boyfriend and me broke up for the time we coulndt see each other and a few weeks (3?) after that he started dating someone else. I really hope that you will have a nice christmas though.

And your song is really awesome! I love it!

[noahsman]

I like this song. I understand the lyrics as I am a widower of 6 years now and no it doesnt get much easier with time. However,christmas was mine and Noahs best times together. So even though its lonely and empty and sad, I find the strength to remember the happy times and so christmas is still my favourite time of year even though I cry alot, I can still smile with the memories.

Jay, I wish that you will find some happiness in your sadness and find a way to feel as good as I do at christmas

[PowderSpirit3]

just like my life...........

[Eilan1108]

My favorite christmas-song, so sad, so touching and so true. This song tells how I feel these days.

Merry christmas!

[israelgdy]

maciek, jay spiewa to co czuje do ciebie. uciekam stad na swieta, bo nie dalbym rady... kocham cie

[bomvrmy]

Jay, just happened to watched this song at the perfect moment, just ended a 5yrs relationship, perfect song for my christmas this year. love from Hong Kong.

[DruggedxAdolescence]

You submitted this on my birthday.

That made me really happy, plus this is a really, really good song.

[LoneWolfe1986]

My favourite song this festive season =P

[dreruam]

I really love you... thought you should know.

[himreaper]

it makes me cry like the lyrics it's a little bit like my life story

[TwinkleRBD]

I hate Christmas, always have and probably always will. I love this song.

[PowderSpirit3]

@TwinkleRBD Ditto - always has and always will

[barrymore]

Very poignant song...luv it!

[vitek147]

Amazing song and great lyrics!

[Xx17aintsosweetxX]

X Andreas

[nnicky93]

you are really beautiful guy.

[xiao2649]

声音真好听...我萌了...

[GentleTaipan]

從沒想到用"萌"這字來形容他是多麼合適...萌得好。

[desTondl]

soo moving, I wonder how it's possible to write such beautiful and moving songs with such great lyrics. I wish I could express my feelings and thoughts as well as you Jay... Amazing! :)

[Cmkx05]

Jayy.. Seriouslyyy !!!! i had my bio mid-term todayy andd i was listening to your song while i was studying the night before and during the mid-term i couldnt get your song out of my headddd !!! ... this songgg isss addictive ? hahha <3

[GhostShadow980]

Damn you Jay! Why do you always have to make me cry?

Your songs resonate so deeply with the things I experience in my life that it is almost eerie. And I want to thank you for that.

[theshadow1932]

@GhostShadow980 Because he's a maladjusted douchbag who wants everyone to be as miserable as he is. DON'T fall for it.

[bubblegumpopx]

gives me chills every time.

[KiAaArA89]

*_______________________*

[thunter34]

As a gay man brought up in a very religious household, Christmas always feels to me like being forced to attend the birthday party of the bully that picks on you all year.

*Sigh*

[BrizyComics]

This was meant to be my first Christmas with my boyfriend who is battling cancer. The horrendous weather closed all means of travel and we spent the day alone and apart. January 12th now and we've yet to be together. This song made me weep so hard that it hurt.

[dianesnowflake]

I really hope you're together soon and that your boyfriend beats cancer. I am a Breast Cancer survivor :-) and myself had a Christmas alone during treatment. That was 8 years ago, never give up hope :-) Love Light and Laughter Diane

[jefgain]

I agree.

[johnnywhoa]

christmas did suck. but hopefully this new year will be much better.

[GreekViP22]

Loved it! Good job Jay!

[lakeguydreams]

wow I like it

[tonykhoanguyen91]

This makes me so sad. I almost cried :'(

[mesmoquesejaeu]

Brilliant! You're amazing!

[houseoftreschic]

aaaahhh...

i heart you.

[bassguitar95]

[stopthemovie]

Oh god, Christmas DOES suck this year...

[chuck21222]

You're so awesome Jay! If you ever need a sugar daddy I just might volunteer!

[04211992April]

Hahaha ha ha.

[KentFreak]

You know what i think. I have no words.

[HoNeYmarisa]

the song is really great

I love it <3

[SiggiKpce]

I. Love. You.

you're truly amazing and brilliant and everything.

*sigh*

oh yeah and your music is good [:

[Tudzy]

brilliant! i am in love with you

[ffx2boy]

Yeah, this is actually true.

Christmas does suck for several reasons in which you covered alot of them.

Whereas I covered the fact that people may hate, but the fact that now, christmas is all about presents.

Originally it was supposed to be about time with the family.

Nice video. 5/5. [:

-Paul

[mynamekeisha]

aw jay :( poor bby

[Mikmikonet]

Just beautiful, Jay. the lyrics are so touching and amazing, and the music is great too.

Big hugs... and love

[juncloudy]

[juncloudy]

I really like your music.

[gwydion1400]

[allieoop7]

if this is about you, i'm sad to hear you so sad. his loss. things'll get better...hang in. if it's not you, but another example of your amazing songwriting talent, well, you've hit the nail on the head.

[549nyc]

[rabBITofGINger]

Thanks...

[baboumbaba]

[ethanpschwartz]

[gbruniverse]

This is beautiful. I totally appreciate that you seem to be a happy person and yet, you're able to give some room to the darker aspects of life and love. So few people feel comfortable doing it. Thanks for making me not feel so alone in the world. :)

[septemberdog]

[ultrafina]

[bebefranz]

[Keichiokami]

Merry Christmas Jay, I would come over and fix pancakes if I could =(

[algiene1]

Thanks, Jay!!

[betoline69]

merry christmas handsome jay!!!

[flaming6]

I would make you pancakes. You make me wish I were a gay man, and that's entirely unfair.

[angielorena]

tal cual como el año pasado.

[MissingRepublic]

i'm crazy about your songs,

that's what i'm gonna say.

i'm crazy about your songs,

that's what i'm gonna do.

maybe you're sad,but i still wanna say:Merry Christmas! jay.

[yjloiselle]

Pain is art when you have the creative juice to express it. That's one of the things I like about being down. You get to express yourself and then move one. A helpful to avoiding Xmas sucking: volunteer and give to the less fortunate. Remove yourself from the equation and the expectations are removed. Be in the present, regardless.

[maddin1366]

jay you sing the way i feel... and you feel the way i do...

love ya...

[lucasamp24]

*hugz* Jay even when u r singing something sad u still sound like an angel to me <3

Hope u feel happier soon!

[spitspotmichael]

Jay - don't be too down - there are so many of us out here that love you and care about you. To quote a Rod Stewart song - "You're in my heart, you're in my soul. You'll be my friend should I grow old"

Trevor x

[suffolkguy]

Stop falling for the wrong guy!

Merry Christmas , anyway.

[carlitaelhada]

I was wondering what happened to you and your sweet songs! You are awesome!

Peace!

[bnvus7]

FUCK X-Mas! Save yourself the hassle and become an Atheist like ME!!!! Holidays are so much easier.

[carlitaelhada]

Ha! ha! ha! very well put!!! :-D

[timeslip325]

love your voice, love your music. thanks for just being awesome and writing songs!

[suspensivoshr]

LOVE YOU!!! Come to spend Christmas with me!

[itbreaksdown]

i love it :] i know you don't rea comments, but you're really talented

[GWHagelin]

Guess I will agree with you this year, since I've stopped smoking 4 days ago, and it feels like I've lost one of my best friends... Of course I know it was the worst friend of them all, but it not feels that way right now...

Beautiful song as always, but I hope you don't feel that way for real, do you?

Best wishes, and MERRY CHRISTMAS from Sweden!!!

[Melancholio74]

you always have great melodies and lyrics. nice song!

[murzart]

I guess this christmas sucks for a lot of us:)))

[RockaRecord]

wow. just what i needed. thank you (:

[tisialpha]

aww, =( let me make you some hot white chocolate with green and red sprinkles. A long with plenty of hugs and kisses <3

[Mickel1993]

I'll love you this christmas :)

[TeenRockProductions]

[CostaSusana]

[stephawepha20]

[AshenShrike]

[gogoloko]

<3 xo

[OLDrawing]

69th video!!! yay! :)

[tomcwa]

Awesome song which hit home for me. Yes Christmas really sucks this year! Thanks Jay.

[rd76pag]

Great job on the song!!! I l love your songs. Besides, you are very cute too. ;)

[ohbabyitsjayme]

can i download this off of itunes?

[WaterDreaminOphelia]

I LOVE YOUR MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!! You are so talented..please don t ever stop singing xxxx

[buffy9472]

right before you sang, "thought you should know" you let out this short little laugh.

I died a little inside. That's how adorable that was.

[pianohead56]

Hey there Jay. I love the song - and I'm not that fond of Christmas either - it makes you think of the people who aren't around any longer. I just get through it as best I can, but I do love the Christmas carols and the spiritual side of it. I agree with Billydude9 - it's been engulfed by commercialism, and now that my son is grown up, methinks I'll agree with my buddies not to exchange presents - except for family, of course. I wish you what makes you happy, Jay. Love you.

[JCTii360]

christmas sucks but hannukah is awsome

[BrewsterIsAWinner]

somebody needs to go hang out with this kid for reals. i don't live in NYC; so it's up to one of you guys.

[Hekerui]

I don't want to spend it with my family, rather someone I love.

Is this song inspired by "Blue Christmas"?

[puppypatrol26]

I want this for my iPod so I can play it obsessively over and over while I work on Christmas, and come home to an empty bed. LOVE IT! All of Jay's songs are the top of the list on my top 25 most played song list! Love your music buddy!

[Khallayne]

Great song Jay! Cheers from Canada! ^_^

[math1cool]

Wow!

[Billydude9]

Mesmerizing song! Christmas does suck...they should do away with it. Its a holiday for the stores not the people. I'm not buying a single gift! Tell people that you don't want to exchange gifts and you'll see that they are totally relieved. It should just be for the kids if anything.

[nicholasxx]

christmas does suck..... i think i might be getting a visit from 3 spirits this year lol xx

[killiken23]

you are good! :)

I hope you do have a Merry Christmas :)

[Veara]

yeah - me too - thanx!

[Bobarella]

I generally hate xmas...

moreso this year..

Broke up with my bf 2 weeks ago, and i was hoping to have been with someone for xmas...

Oh well..

Keep up the good work Jay

[haracas]

do you EVER cheer up?!

[jaybrannan]

no and i wish people would stop asking/telling me to

[JCTii360]

it ok i never cheer up either. Life sucks sometimes. But your music gets me through it. no lie.

For other people out there, some people just don't cheer up. deal with it.

[Lehoanglong]

my gf cant come 2 see me this xams ... this xmas sux balls !!!

[treviott]

Great song Jay.

I await Goddamned in the post soon, couldnt get it in the local disc-factory! lol.

I hop you do have a Merry Christmas...

[Imagirlk]

Your music makes me want to fall in love and I'm usually pretty bitter about that kind of stuff...love and such. Your music is amazing.

[toyakinomoto3489]

i heart jay brannan, marry me please! lol. not a stalker hehehe, i love your music.

[ninfan2005]

[0447033]

[fish401]

Is there anyway to get a hard copy of your music?

[accidit]

awe jay. I just want you to get a boyfriend and write a song about how happily ever after is possible =]

[intrepidsquatter]

I love all your music. You're amazing. If I could see you preform live in person I would. Even if I had to fly to do it.

[ronnem40]

Jay, you're a stroke of brilliance - keep up the good work! Thanks for another great creation!

[boiblond]

God I love your voice.

[ElfBoyProduction]

brilliant

[Nereis8]

Se que no me entiendes, pero me encanta verte cantar. :)

[WagnerDanny]

You're really amazing, wonderful!

[ParisWinterStorm]

I can't think of any words to say...

Your music and voice soothe my mind in these crazy times and I'm thankful because without it I probably wouldn't have made it through this year so y'know, I just wanna say thankyou.

Paris xo

[shadow24layan]

Very Lovely darling!!!

So depressing, almost wrist cut worthy. ^_^

Merry Christmas Jay!

[RedVolly]

Love your music and your voice...amazing! :D
