I love how they used to be like “let’s hope next year is better” and this year it’s just like “OMG 2020 IS FINALLY OVER! BRING IT ON 2021!” Edit: unrelated, but I love how pessimistic Malinda was genuinely sad during the COVID part instead of just annoyed and sarcastic.

Nah. What will be will be. The best we can do is to make connections with other humans, with nature, with animals, & with the grand story of history where we can see all the horrible things we've survived, and then to be kind & calm & grateful for what we have & not just think about our own wants & imagined "needs", because if we do these things, we can still bring beauty into the world.
yes! I love the background vocals in all her songs but this arrangement was especially smart. Like idk if you noticed at 3:35 she also a lot of great vocals like fake crying when she said they kicked trump out, saying "hell yeah" when she said biden won and being the "trumpets of celebration" at the end of the sentence! Her backing vocals are honestly bomb.
Only if 2021 doesn't end up being the "Year of the Masked Zombies", with everyone shuffling around just too tired and resigned to give a shit. Optimism is grand, but this mess is far from over regardless how far the planet's been around the sun or where it is in its orbit..
For all of you wondering where her 2021 Honest Christmas song is, she said on Twitter that she's taking a break this year because she is on a December vacation.
I always tear up at the 'there's life in between the headlines and fear, the little victories made this year'. It's so true and so much more important than people typically think.
Honestly, that's the only good part of 2020. It makes me cry every time too. But my hopes for a good outcome ended when Bernie just gave up in the primary. I put in all that work to help him win Iowa (my state) and for what? For him to just give up? And in favor of Joe Patriot Act Biden?! No, I'm not expecting others to agree with my politics. I'm just saying that was when I kinda just gave up on US politics. I just don't have the energy for this nonsense anymore. And then with Covid and everything else on top of all that? And now in 2022 with ppl pretending the pandemic is over because they're tired of taking precautions? It's enough to make me want to crawl in bed and sleep for a decade.
I know it's been almost a year since this came out so this probably won't be seen by many people but I just wanted to say that ever since this first released I've absolutely loved it. The line "there's good in-between the headlines and fears." Really sticks to me. Sometimes I feel like the world is complete garbage and there's no point in trying anymore, but then I remember this little line and I feel good again. Because there is good, no matter how small or how fleeting, it's there, and if I can make just one person happy, even just for a minute, then I'll have gone to sleep knowing that It was worth getting out of bed that day. Thank you so much for this beautiful and hilarious song, it's the most hopeful thing I've ever heard.

Past years: This year was the worst! Let's try to have the best New Year ever! 2020: Please, God, can we please have a better year. Like, the bar is low. Very low. Can we at least try not to be depressed. Please.
I’ve been looking forward to this all year and holy shit, I was NOT disappointed. And, man, I loved how when the pessimist started singing about Covid, she didn’t seem all negative and annoyed, she honestly just seemed sad. It broke my heart. This is the only acceptable way to end, 2020, thank you, Malinda.
hey, its nearing the end of 2021 here, and i am SO EXCITED for this years Christmas Carol. I've been watching them since the beginning and I am ready for the insanity!
I've just discovered Malinda in the last 4-6 mos, so I'm playing catch-up. The Honest Christmas 2021 will be the first I see "in real time." Can't wait! Though watching these retroactively is an experience of time travel all on its own.
all the thumbnail can make me think of is the 'this is fine' meme and honestly, that's what 2020 is at this point edit: all the small victories were such a nice touch, so i'll add my own too: i came out as pan!!
Sometimes i feel like Malinda just has millions of replicas of herself sitting in some warehouse just waiting to be featured in one of her creative masterpieces.
Okay, but hear me out: an actual Malinda Christmas album. I know it's probably too late, but I would love to hear Malinda sing proper versions of holiday songs.
I literally cried when I saw “I came out” on the list of little victories. Quarantine really helped me figure out my identity, and it always makes me happy to see a creator I really enjoy being supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, even if it’s just with little things like that.
figure out your identity?...ever hear of a birth certificate, drivers license, passport. if you were refered to as one of those letters, would you be offended? + community

Malinda: Fine I'll do it myself
I don't understand what rewind is tho.
@@jocelyn248 It’s when TH-cam goes over what happened in the year before the next year. It’s a rewind of what happened in TH-cam.
@@TemFromTheTemShop Ok, but why do youtubers hate being in TH-cam rewind?

They managed more than half the video without even mentioning covid and 2020 still sounded horrible 🤣
Actually COVID-19 is in the headline already shown in 2:26, and could even argue already at 1:24, since everyone in that picture have facemasks on

Very true. And Hamilton was the only redeeming thing about this year!

@@shedotshearts it is tho...!
I think saying “bring it on 2021” may have been a mistake
Oh boy, I just don't know what to expect for 2021. My pessimist side says: " THIS. YEAR. IS. GONNA. BE. WORSE. THAN. 2020!" but my optimist side says: "There is NO way! 2021 is gonna be worse than 2020. 2020 was and is rock bottom. 2021 HAS to be better!!!!". I'm not sure who to listen to.
@@jocelyn248 Idk either
Until i heard this line i was optimistic. Now i'm just terrified.
My pessimism is taking over, bring it on 2021 was a bad idea

New yearly tradition: Go back and watch every single Honest Christmas in chronological order.
It would be cool to see another one done even with all the hard work you are doing for your music
the years deadass gradually get worse JUST to prove happy honest christmas song malinda wrong
I would call this is a conspiracy theory but it’s clearly true
It's not a theory as...Well we have proof it happened
the past honest christmas problems look so MILD now.
also IMO 2019 was pretty good. best year I had lived through in a while.

2021 did in fact bring it on!
I wasn't even thinking this was gonna be released... STILL, GET THE POPCORN MOM!
Pre release: this should be good
Post release: sensational
I’ve been looking forward to this all year and holy shit, I was NOT disappointed. And, man, I loved how when the pessimist started singing about Covid, she didn’t seem all negative and annoyed, she honestly just seemed sad. It broke my heart. This is the only acceptable way to end, 2020, thank you, Malinda.
These comments are jinxing us-
hey, its nearing the end of 2021 here, and i am SO EXCITED for this years Christmas Carol. I've been watching them since the beginning and I am ready for the insanity!
I've just discovered Malinda in the last 4-6 mos, so I'm playing catch-up. The Honest Christmas 2021 will be the first I see "in real time." Can't wait! Though watching these retroactively is an experience of time travel all on its own.
@@ginarblank This one in real time was an Experience. I got tears in my eyes listening to the end bit for the first time.
2020 is like a tragic musical, except it's real

If it was a musical I would like it better bc it would be socially acceptable to burst in to sing at any moment
and there's no music....

Sometimes i feel like Malinda just has millions of replicas of herself sitting in some warehouse just waiting to be featured in one of her creative masterpieces.
It is disturbing how many times I've watched this in the past 19 days.
Saaaaaame
Same
What has this year taught you?
My Optimist Side: Things can only get better.
My Pessimist Side: Things can only get worse
Combine both and its "It can only get"
This year taught us that good news have to be hunted for, and bad news just come to your door.
This year has taught us that no matter what you think is rock bottom, there is always something worse around the corner!
Me: Things can get better for everyone else, but not for me because I'm a disgusting piece of trash that hates myself
My optimist side died this year.... I dont see anything good anymore...
"Covid, Covid won't you cease?"
"We might have some vaccines!"
"Holy s**t it's in Minks"
"What-"
The "Greensleves" part sends chills, both good and bad, down my shine.
same!
Which part is the greensleeves?
@@brendanhart517 starts at around 3:48
Okay, but hear me out: an actual Malinda Christmas album. I know it's probably too late, but I would love to hear Malinda sing proper versions of holiday songs.
I think she's singing some live with Thomas Sanders.
2017: “I think that we have kind of hit rock bottom but that means there’s only one way to go”
2018-2020: turns out rock bottom was a basement!
2021 (maybe): LETS GET THE SHOVELS!
2022 (probably): I’ve brought a pick axe and I’m ready to dig
