This time I was certain the son had died or the dad had. This was incredibly bleak and dark. Bit a nice Christmas advert at all I dont really get it. So the song takes him back to a time when he was happy and raving and then he had kids? Is that the message??

…I think for me…(…the message…)…was that the nostalgia of the song also took the dad back to his son being born and the intense love that a parent has for their child…and maybe now going through a more difficult relationship time that many parents do with their children when their children are pushing into adulthood and independence etc…?…and not always showing that love so openly anymore but that moment did and that the son had put so much thought into the gift…for me, it’s not about a life of not having kids/it’s about the love that a child brings to a life…
