Don't Open 'till Christmas

"Don’t Open ‘Till Christmas" is an ode to the yearning of the human heart, felt especially at Christmas, to mend the wounds of lost love, to heal the division that tears us apart, and it is a prayer to the spirit of Christmas to restore balance in life. It is not about one particular relationship. It seems, in retrospect, to be about the aggregate of the experience of the loss of intimacy and trust, and a confession of human failing, and, finally, a hope that we can be forgiven for being human and that we can find love again, over and over.
