I looooove the song! The Killers NEVER disappoint!

I think it's about someone that's maybe been sleeping around and not taking relationships seriously so he wakes up next to this girl and thinks she's pretty and everything and he realized he's done the same thing again "what did you do this time" so then he tries to leave but she begs him to stay so he does. And then while they're dancing and kissing under the miseltoe he realizes that he doesn't want to get involved so he gets scared and leaves. And then later on he regrets that decision because he keeps thinking about her and he wants to "break the spell" of never being able to stay in a relationship.

And then I think the chorus is just basically saying that there are so many bad things going on right now, and life is difficult but it's Christmas time so you should just relax and enjoy life and enjoy the good things. So maybe that's him trying to tell himself to stop living life the way he has been and enjoy life and let himself fall in love. I don't know!
