i'm so so so happy they made another christmas song :)

I think that the big line here is "Stomp my boots before I go back in." It's referring to how Christmas reminds us that we can shed sins and mistakes and "the paths we took" to enjoy fellowship with friends and family.

The song describes mistakes in the past, but "Just when [he thinks] these times have gotten the best of [him]" he realises that he's been forgiven, is free from the mistakes of his past, and can appreciate the miracle of christmas.

The music video shows a man who "stomps the snow off his boots" by raising enough money and hope to bring gifts to his family, who had disappointed before. His reunion with his family is him "going back in."

That the title is taken from this like is a hint that this is where the big meaning is.

After all, that's the idea of Christmas: that someone was born who could help us be free of the burden of our sins and mistakes :)

hope this makes sense Merry Christmas!
