[English]

Breaking News.

After losing his voice from the sound monster attacks,

Santa has hired a substitute to work in his place while he undergoes hospital treatment.

We wait in anticipation to see if the specially employed substitute Santa

will be able to spread joy to children all around the world.

Let’s get ready

Huh?

What, what again

Oh gosh

(It’s Christmas Eve)

The overnight snow is pretty for just a second

Romantic? Not

Look how fast the selfish cars made it turn black

It's even hard to walk in, it's not a snowfield, it's a mud flat

My pants are wet to the knee

After walking for a bit, I topple over

I used to wish it would be special on this special day

But not anymore, I only hope nothing ever happens

As I lay around at home, my eyes get swollen

Will the snowman that I made yesterday be okay?

Ouch, that stings

Cut by the biting wind snikt snikt

Brrr trembling voice

What do you mean colorful, I can't see anything

Cough cough cough I cough while rapping

Jack Frost coming for y’all, run run

The holiday that freezes us to the bone, silence

There’s nothing special

Why did everyone wait for so long?

Christmas EveL

(Merry Christmas)

Jingle jingle jingle all the way

You got me spinning

Turning round and round and round

Christmas on the ice

Risky and chaotic

I don’t need no presents

Crossing out X-MAS

It’s getting colder, I’m burning my anxiety, not firewood

Thanks to the slippery road, there’s more traffic. Thanks so much, winter

I can see my breath, my nose turns red

Only the parts I dressed up in layers are hot

What are you shy about? eh Your ears turned red (Oh man)

Who says it's sparkling bright, your eyes must be steamy - pretty good quality filter

Oh move out of the way out of the way, when you squeeze your snowed on coat there go 5 liters

I hate to see those people who stick to each other because it's cold

I don't get a single call, only junk messages. I hate everyone

Jack Frost coming for y’all, run run

The holiday that freezes us to the bone, silence

There’s nothing special

Why did everyone wait for so long?

Christmas EveL

(Merry Christmas)

Jingle jingle jingle all the way

You got me spinning

Turning round and round and round

Christmas on the ice

Risky and chaotic

I don’t need no presents

Crossing out X-MAS

I secretly tiptoe onto the chimney

Gyro Drop thud reality check Christmas EveL

Why aren’t you sleeping?

One, two

Step Out

Hello

We are Stray Kids

Do you know us?

You’re not Santa!

Feliz Navidad Feliz Navidad

I can feel the evil coming but Felix, never bad

Today is a special day, no one can steal it

Shadows are taking over me

Let me sing a Christmas song

Feliz Navidad (Ho Ho Ho)

Feliz Navidad (Christmas EveL)

Feliz Navidad (Ho Ho Ho)

Feliz Navidad

(It’s Christmas Eve)

Let’s get ready

Let’s get ready
