The song then delves into the speaker's feelings of being on a "list of evil facts," suggesting he and his friends have been naughty. Despite this, he insists on the true meaning of Christmas, which is friendship and togetherness. This is evident in the repeated phrase, "Christmas is a time for friends and family to come together."

The speaker thanks Santa Claus for making him see the true meaning of Christmas and expresses gratitude for the gift of Christmas.
