I love this song, ahhh it's such a good story. But I think people are missing the point here. The moral of the story is that no matter how shitty life is there are always moments of Christmas. The protagonist is inspired to continue her hard work fueled by the prospect of The New Year. break it down. Main character is depressed/suicidal and is pestered by her inability to find meaning in life which is currently one plague after the other. The angel is something that inspires her to remember that always and unexpectedly good events occur (Christmas) that allow you to regain yourself (New Year). It's kind of the same as that one song with all the soldier music she has...uh what's it called...sometimes in the morning i am terrified and can't move... That one. Where she is singing about how when you're that depressed it's difficult to remember that by responding to the quick bursts of life's happiness by savoring and recognizing them makes it worth the trouble. That was way longer than I meant it to be. I hope you guys tear my ass apart.
