The way he says "I missed my bus!" Like the other people just dont matter. But it's not wrong that anyone in that situation would only care about their loved one and wouldn't be grieving strangers when they find their family is alive. It's like such an oddly personal song but looks evil as it's supposed to be a christmas song so people dying in it is a bit odd but it's like they wanted to touch the deepest part of our emotions. I'm not joking this song is something else lol

Someone who missed bus thinks a god spared him while everyone else died. What about those other people? Did god hate all of them? Even the children among them? How simple minded can people be? Does the writer of this song imagine that everyone on that bus had angered god in some way, so it was okay that they all be killed, just as long as Daddy got home all right?
