The Saddest and Most Depressing Christmas Songs: Considering Sometimes You're Just Non Feeling Similar Christmas
Bah humbug. While everyone else is gleefully decking their halls, are you lot just going through the motions? Are "The Niggling Bummer Boy" and "The Worst Noel" playing in your head? Are you delaying gift shopping as long every bit possible, hoping Christmas obligations will disappear? (Relieve the trouble and opt for gift cards.)
There are those among u.s.a. who but don't accept the joy of Christmas in them some years. I've been there. During the Christmas season several years ago, a loved one died later a protracted disease, then I didn't enjoy the magic of the flavor for awhile. Others struggle because of broken relationships, financial strains, their own health problems, or non being together with loved ones.
Popular Christmas music reflects many of these situations, and there are plenty of sad Christmas songs to help you commiserate. If you're looking to make a playlist of sad Christmas songs, then we have a long list to start you out.
1. "Christmas Shoes" by NewSong
If you're not all high-strung up before listening to this 2000 vocal, you will be after. A poor young male child, dirty from head to toe, has saved up enough money to purchase his terminally ill mother some special shoes she covets. He waits in the checkout line, and the narrator, a stranger, waits behind him.
Unfortunately, the child does not take enough money to consummate the purchase. The stranger is motivated to help him afterwards the boy explains that his mother is most death. She wants to be presentable when she meets Jesus. The song is meant to convey the true meaning of Christmas.
two. "Delight Come Home for Christmas" past Charles Brown
The sad sack in this vacation song from 1960 has been left past his beloved, and all he can recollect most is reuniting with her. While his eye is heavy now, he hopes that she'll magically find her way home in fourth dimension for the holidays:
Then won't you tell me, you lot'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year'due south will find yous home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
'Crusade I'll be happy, happy over again.
3. "Christmas Lights" past Coldplay
Peace and joy be damned. The reality of this guy's life is that his Christmas night is filled with yet another nasty argument. (Sounds like a divorce might be on the horizon.)
The couple in this 2015 vocal shed tears, and his sweetheart flees into the cold night that has yet to snow. No, it doesn't feel like Christmas at all.
4. "Blue Christmas" past Elvis Presley
Elvis sure knows how to deflate the Christmas mood in this 1957 classic. He and his daughter tin can't spend the holiday together, and that'southward a true bummer. However, instead of reliving their happy memories and looking forward to reuniting, he drags down his girlfriend's spirits by concentrating on how miserable he'll be alone.
Hey, cadet up, buddy. A situation is what you make of it.

5. "Last Christmas" by Wham!
The man-baby in this 1986 modern Christmas classic is yet b*tching and moaning about a heartbreak that happened concluding year. Get over information technology already, dude.
He gave his heart to someone during the Christmas flavor who promptly rejected him. Now she treats him like a stranger. (That's a surprise.) Domicile on the by is no way to attract someone else.
6. "Every Year, Every Christmas" by Luther Vandross
This poor guy is stuck in a time warp, unable to class other relationships afterward his love affair several years agone fizzled. He returns each year at Christmastime to the same street corner where he met his sweetheart and where they promised to come across annually at Christmas.
It'southward 1995, and then they have practise have telephones and even email, then you lot take to wonder what kind of funny business is going on with repeatedly getting stood up at once-a-year meetings. And who meets the beloved of their lives at a street corner?
7. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" past Michael Buble'
In this 2003 embrace, Michael Buble' offers a downer of a melody by recalling all of his favorite things about Christmas at dwelling house: snowfall, mistletoe, and presents past the tree. Simply he reminds you he won't exist enjoying those with y'all because he's and then far away, and he'll simply be dreaming near them. Feel guilty notwithstanding?
eight. "What Do the Lonely Exercise at Christmas?" past The Emotions
In this 1989 song, a man who is without his honey at the holidays points out how happy everyone else is. Kids play with their toys, lovers kiss under the mistletoe, and choirs sing joyously. Not him even so:
But what is left, oh, for me to exercise
Now that it'southward Christmas and I don't accept you?
9. "Where Are Yous Christmas?" by Faith Colina
The laughter and music of Christmas has disappeared, co-ordinate to this 2000 holiday song. It's from the soundtrack of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
The narrator feels her world irresolute and wonders if that means that she is changing as well. Information technology'due south the perfect song for an empty nester to play when they're waiting for a call from the kids at the holidays.
10. "Lone This Christmas" past M.T. Tunstall
Since her darling left her, their house is not a abode, and the glum lady in this holiday song from 2007 is forecasting a depressing Christmas. She'll be alone with no place no become and she expects that her tears will melt the snow.
Curl upwards with a cat and a proficient book and forget stop ruminating about him! Pity won't bring him back, and you didn't need him anyway.
11. "Go Me Through December" by Alison Krauss & Natalie MacMaster
There'due south a deep aching and a feeling of sincere loss in this 1999 song. December brings back too many raw memories and the narrator but wants the hurting to exist over. She seeks to somehow make it through to the other side of Dec where she'll observe redemption and renewal:
No divine purpose brings freedom from sin
And peace is a gift that must come up from within
I've looked for the honey that will bring me to rest
Feeding this hunger chirapsia strong in my chest.
Isn't information technology sad that no one sends Christmas cards anymore?

10 Activities to Try If Y'all're Feeling Lamentable During the Holidays
| Activity | Activity |
|---|---|
| Volunteer at a soup kitchen or brute shelter | Try recipes yous've always wanted to brand for yourself |
| Learn a new hobby or skill | Visit residents at a nursing abode |
| Bake goodies for neighbors or coworkers | Take a walk, camera optional |
| Enjoy a moving-picture show marathon or other favorite activities | Seriously clean firm |
| Starting time a gratitude concatenation | Talk to someone who will listen |
12. "Joel, the Lump of Coal" by The Killers & Jimmy Kimmel
What the hell is going on in the North Pole? Information technology wasn't enough that Rudolph was bullied for a concrete disability. Now Joel the Lump of Coal is also mercilessly ridiculed by the elves before Santa gives him away to a naughty child as a booby prize.
The saving grace is that this sad 2014 vocal has a happy ending that makes it worthy of a listen. Joel is actress empathic in the hands of his sad new owner and ends up transformed into a diamond. Thank goodness for pocket-size miracles.
13. "It's Not Christmas Without You" by Katherine McPhee
When you're separated from the one you dear, you can either make the best of it or wallow in your misery. The girl in this 2010 melody chooses the latter, deciding not to transport out Christmas cards and ignoring Christmas carolers in the altitude. She ruminates over memories from last twelvemonth when she and her lover spent the vacation together.
Plainly, repeatedly telling him it's not Christmas without him works because her lover has a terminal minute change of plans. He surprises the sad lady with a visit.
xiv. "Christmas Won't Exist the Same Without Yous" by Apparently White T's
In this 2008 Christmas song, the narrator'southward love involvement has to go out, merely he's laying the guilt trip as thick equally peanut butter. (The guilt trip doesn't change things. It just makes both partners more miserable.) He swears that the only gift he needs is for her to stay and hold him tight.
15. "River" past Sarah McLachlan
At that place'south a reason the woman in this 2006 Christmas song is in a human relationship time-out. The protagonist cheated on her lover with someone who made her feel naughty and weak in the knees. That indiscretion was a deal-breaker, and now, as anybody around her is happy, she regrets causing so much heartache. Lesson learned.
This Grinch tossed his tree in the trash! Fortunately, nonetheless, as many as 93% of live Christmas trees are recycled through a customs recycling program. In the U.s.a., 35-40 million natural Christmas trees are sold each yr.

16. "Merry Christmas Darling" past The Carpenters
The stride of this 1970 song drags because information technology's a depressing tune about a woman who regrets being abroad from her partner at Christmas. She'south pulling up those knee socks and making the best of it, however, by sending out Christmas cards and going through all the other motions of the holidays. At least she holds out a glimmer of promise that they tin can be together someday soon.
17. "Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas" by Alan Jackson
Yep, this is actually a Christmas song. I like Alan Jackson'due south 1993 rendition of information technology meliorate than the original by John Denver, although both are depressing. A seven twelvemonth-old begs his alcoholic father not to come home drunkard again this Christmas because information technology makes his mother cry. If you think you accept it bad, then this is one that will give y'all perspective.
18. "Better Days" by Goo Goo Dolls
Forget the fancy boxes and designer gifts. They're simply empty "stuff." In this 2006 Christmas song, the narrator but wants better days ahead. The sad part about this song is that in wishing for peace, the narrator contrasts it against the reality of today'southward endless conflict and millions of children, forgotten in poverty.
nineteen. "Same Old Lang Syne" past Dan Fogelberg
Have you always see an quondam lover and spent time catching upwardly on where life has taken each of you? This bloodshot 1981 song recounts a long-standing friendship between two former lovers who happen to bump into 1 another one Christmas Eve.
They share several drinks, toasting both the past and the nowadays. Every bit they catch upward, they realize that neither is as content equally they imagined they would be. Finally, the two run out of things to say and return to their lonely, respective worlds.
twenty. "Christmas Just Ain't Christmas Without the One You Love" by The O'Jays
According to this narrator, spending the holidays in the absence of your sweetie simply sucks. In this 1964 song, the man recalls how last year the couple pledged their unending love to ane another, spent fourth dimension shopping, and smooched under the mistletoe. But this holiday season, he has fashion besides much alone time on his hands.
Not everyone enjoys Christmas. Poinsettias and mistletoe can be toxic. Drinking glass ornaments interruption. People give gaudy gifts they can't afford.

Peggy - Especially if you've experienced loss or personal hardship, Christmas tin be isolating and sad rather than joyful. Information technology tin can draw attention to all the gulf betwixt what you have and the ideal. I imagine this coming Christmas will be a tough one for many. Thanks for stopping by, specially during off-flavour!
Peggy Woods from Houston, Texas on April 07, 2020:
Many people have a hard time during this season of the twelvemonth when the focus is all about family gatherings and fun. I had no idea that in that location were so many songs addressing this subject.
FlourishAnyway (author) from United states on December 13, 2019:
Marc Salisbury - Sorry but the simply trace of this song I could find is another person on a music messageboard (unanswered in 2006) asking about this same song, so at least y'all know you have company in looking for this haunting song. I grew up in the next town over from Marriage, SC and one summer worked there. Such a tragedy.
Marc Salisbury on December xiii, 2019:
And nevertheless no mention of the very rare country song written years ago, with a video aired at least once on CMT, about Susan Smith's lilliputian boys. Part of it went something similar "My little girl came downstairs and handed me her christmas list, on information technology she had written 'Beloved Santa, transport all my toys to heaven to those two little boys whose mommy didn't love them anymore' " My mom and I seem to be the simply people in the world that remember seeing that music video in the middle of the nighttime on CMT. The internet don't know it and nobody else remembers information technology. But that was the '90s everyone was asleep by midnight except for united states barworkers.

Suhail Zubaid aka Clark Kent from Mississauga, ON on January 06, 2018:
Hi Flourish,
I love Christmas and Holidays season. I love the joyful spirit behind the celebrations. Therefore, I don't think I may have listened to whatsoever deplorable Christmas songs. Since I am a Muslim, Christmas reminds me of the following from the life of Jesus or Eisa as he is chosen in Islam (May peace be upon him):
1. Co-ordinate to the Quran, when the people raised questions almost the chastity of Mary, he spoke from his cradle and siad, "And He (God) has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and charity as long every bit I remain alive, and has made me dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant, and peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the mean solar day I am raised alive."
2. Christmas is the time for renewal of my resolution for new yr: I will always stand with those who are weak and oppressed and with any and all of his creation that cannot speak for itself against human being'southward persecuting them and that I volition proceed to dislike rituals associated with religion.
FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on January 06, 2018:

Oh, dear Linda - I am and then sorry about the reminder. Big hugs across the internet.
Linda Lum from Washington State, United states of america on January 06, 2018:
Flourish, it was hard to even look at this article. If you know me, you know my story and the sadness that comes with the vacation. But as you said, with children, nosotros power on. I look frontward to the Heavenly reunion where there will be no more than tears.
FlourishAnyway (author) from United states on January 06, 2018:
Mary - While the whole notion of being away from loved ones didn't surprise me equally a common theme for these sad Christmas songs, I was surprised past the raw topics addressed past other songs -- Santa having AIDS, orphans, dying parents, homelessness, and alcoholism. Pretty sad indeed. So many people are dealing with problems larger than ugly Christmas sweaters. Sigh. Glad it's January. Have a happy week ahead.
Mary Wickison from Brazil on January 06, 2018:
I thought these would only be modern ones as some people seem disillusioned with the holidays. I was surprised to see you've listed one from the sixty'south.
I detest to think of people existence unhappy anytime just fifty-fifty more then during the holidays.
FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on January 06, 2018:
Kari - Christmas tin can bring out the saddest emotions for some people by highlighting what i doesn't have. My initial bout of multiple sclerosis hit 15 years agone right earlier the Christmas season and then I spent the unabridged holiday housebound with optic neuritis and a painful aversion to red. I would have called off the whole thing had it not been for having a young child at the time. Information technology'due south fabricated me aware how not anybody is having a joyful time when they "should" be.
FlourishAnyway (author) from The states on January 06, 2018:
Bill - There were a lot more sad Christmas songs than I anticipated. Seems similar folks want to sing about how depressed they are. Go figure.
FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on January 06, 2018:
Frank - Looking back on Karen Carpenter and what ultimately happened to her, almost all of her songs have a sad undertone to them to me. So deplorable that we couldn't save her from herself. I recollect her internal state pervades the vocal. Thanks for stopping by to comment on my tardy Christmas playlist. I look on it equally a caput start for adjacent yr. Take a great 2018.
Kari Poulsen from Ohio on January 06, 2018:
When I read the championship I idea, "Sad Christmas song?" You showed me. There are much more than I ever thought, lol.
Bill Holland from Olympia, WA on Jan 06, 2018:
Thank you for giving me an like shooting fish in a barrel one. Blue Christmas instantly popped in this old brain. Information technology was nice to actually remember of one quickly. :)
Frank Atanacio from Shelton on January 06, 2018:
