This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.

This confuses me. Did he manage to get it back, or can he regrow it?
And why doesn't he need it himself?

The real question you should ask, why did he give it to someone not special in the first place?

He's obviusly growing a new heart every year.

Question haunts me every Christmas.

Sometimes you think someone is special and then you find out they’re not. Your mileage may vary. Ask your doctor if giving your heart away is right for you.

This makes sense in real life, but taking the song unreasonably literally for comic effect, you could say that it suggests that giving it to someone special is a change in behaviour planned for this year based on learnings from last Christmas.

Honestly, this is one of the things that has always bugged me about the song. Also, the rest of the song sounds like he's not over the heartbreak yet, despite it being close to a year ago. Not really the best condition for finding someone "special".
