There are various theories about what Mew’s ‘She Came Home For Christmas’ is about. Some of them (listed on the video comments on YouTube) are slightly disturbing and not what I had taken from the song at all. Suffice to say it’s beautiful, sad and ultimately uplifting. It’s been released a number of times, and although was first released in the UK in 2002, its original release in their native Denmark was back in 1997.
