I’m sick and tired of this holiday
Not good at being present anyway
The songs are catchy but they’re overplayed
My relatives always know what to say to piss me off
Small talk in the kitchen
Dated, dumb traditions
Who sucks competition
Call it pessimism
December is a prison
It just makes me miss him
Is it New Years yet?
I’m getting bored, so can we skip ahead?
I just wanna forget
That I’m at home with nobody to hold
I’m dreamin’ ’bout silver and gold
That champagne buzz down to my toes
Down to my toes
Someone, not you, kissin’ me, oh yes
Is it New Years?
Is it New Years yet?
Santa Santa, boy, you’re the worst
It’s the 25th, I wish it was the 1st
Couples all around me, damn, it hurts
Wanna push ’em in the fireplace and watch ’em burn
Santa Santa, why do you hate me?
I’m a gift, look how God made me
Never never get what’s on my list
Fruitcake just makes me sick
Small talk in the kitchen
Dated, dumb traditions
Who sucks competition
Call it pessimism
December is a prison
It just makes me miss him
Is it New Years yet?
I’m getting bored, so can we skip ahead?
I just wanna forget
That I’m at home with nobody to hold
I’m dreamin’ ’bout silver and gold
That champagne buzz down to my toes
Down to my toes
Someone, not you, kissin’ me, oh yes
Is it New Years?
Is it New Years yet?
Longing for the Countdown: Navigating Holiday Blues
In “is it new years yet?” by Carpenter, Sabrina, the holiday season is stripped of its usual magic, revealing raw feelings of isolation and impatience. The song cleverly uses biting humor and candid honesty to capture the discomfort many feel during family gatherings and festive traditions. Sabrina voices the struggle of enduring another December without a loved one, highlighting the monotony of small talk, nostalgia for happier times, and the pressure to be joyful. The repeated plea to “skip ahead” to New Year’s underscores a desire to escape, searching for hope and renewal amid the seasonal noise. The track’s relatable take on holiday loneliness, wrapped in catchy melodies, makes it both poignant and refreshingly real.
