the song describes dan's disagreement with consumerism in christmas. people around him are keen for christmas to bring them presents but have forgotten the true meaning of the day, "the reason we're not in school."
"5 days later..." refers to new year's eve, where those around him are already forgetting christmas once again while they get "wasted" on this holiday.
on the whole the song focuses on his christianity, and also hints at his disliking for drug use, a common theme of his.
