A warm, sentimental song reminiscing on Christmas.
|
Late 2012, I was living in Colorado. It became clear that I was going to have to move, due to financial and family reasons. Anytime you near the holidays it's easy to drift into reminiscences of your early childhood at Christmas.
I was no different.
I lived a vagabond existence as an army brat. But Mom and Dad always made Christmas very special. Even when Dad was deployed in Vietnam, I had those audio cassettes from him, which were the next best thing to having him home with us.
And the 'us' was simply we three; Dad,Mom and me. No siblings. There are relatives, but do I know them ? Nope. Never met them.
So when it comes to Christmas memories, they are very small intimate affairs.
"Home For Christmas" comes from this. I hope you enjoy!

Home for Christmas
I wish I were home for Christmas
I could stay through to New Years Eve
Festive cards all around
And all the sights and all the sounds
It all means so much to me
There's the star atop the tree
I wish I were home for Christmas
And you were by my side
God fills my heart
Even though though we're apart
I wish I were home for Christmas
It's such a blessed night
And every time I remember
Those special days in December
I can't help but think of you
Every gentle Christmas night
The soft glow of candlelight
I can't help but think of you
No I can't can't help myself
But to think of you
In my soul I'm home for Christmas
I can see the lights on the tree
The sweet smell of the pine
Oh, I'm feelin' fine
It brings back such special memories
Oh yes I'm home for Christmas
Yes I'm home for Christmas
