Open on Christmas Eve (Official Music Video) | If you eat alone, maybe you are not truly alone

Christmas may be the perfect time for holiday blues. If you don’t celebrate this holiday or don’t find it truly cheerful, maybe you are not really alone. Immigrants, international students, Jewish people, those having difficult relationships with their families, those living their lives in solitude…… If you have ever lost your soul in a snowy silent night, this song may be for you. #christmasmusic #christmasmusicplaylist #christmas #christmaseve #christmasmusicplaylist #christmasmusic2025 Written with Grok Open on Christmas Eve Red lanterns sway above the empty street Snow falls softly, “Open” the neon sign reads Carols echo faintly from across the streets But here the radio sings in old Cantonese Wonton smell rise with kitchen steam Chef wipes his hands, another year unseen Families laugh somewhere under Christmas trees While we fold dumplings, quiet as summer breeze We’re open on Christmas Eve For hearts shaking in this festive freeze You’ll see those glowing lantern lights For souls lost in this snowy, silent night A man sits alone at table number three Orders mapo tofu, says “just like home to me” A student with headphones, scrolling old photos Laughs softly for a memory from long ago Waitress pours tea with a gentle smile She knows every story, chats for a little while Outside the bells ring for midnight mass Inside we share what the season asks We’re open on Christmas Eve For hearts shaking in this festive freeze You’ll see those glowing lantern lights For souls lost in this snowy, silent night Maybe joy isn’t always loud and bright Sometimes it’s chopsticks tapping late at night Sometimes it’s a stranger saying “xièxiè nǐ” In a place that never says goodbye We’re open on Christmas Eve Till the snow stops falling, till tomorrow reach If you’re tired of pretending cheer You know there’s a seat for you here No tree, no gifts, no need to explain Just warmth and smile and no more pain In this corner where the world does not see We stay open, on this Christmas Eve
