In athe song, Last Christmas, I heard the phrase "the"But the very next day." I'm not sure what it was supposed to mean, but from context I guess it's the day after Christmas Eve.

Is it grammatically correct to say "very next"? Something is next or is not next. Can something be 'more next' that something else? Can something be 'very next' or just 'a little next'?
