Home for the Holidays

Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays,
For no matter how far away you roam -
When you long for the sunshine of a friendly gaze,
For the holidays - you can’t beat home, sweet home!

I met a man who lives in Tennessee, and he was headin’ for 
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie;
From Pennsylvania folks are travelin’ down Dixie’s sunny shore;
From Atlantic to Pacific -
Gee, the traffic is terrific!

Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays,
'Cause no matter how far away you roam -
If you want to be happy in a million ways,
For the holidays - you can’t beat home, sweet home!

This was the first Christmas piano song I memorised and one of my dad's favourites to hear me play.  I am so excited to be going back to Ohio--especially at this special time of the year--to spend time with my family and friends.  There are so many things about home that I can't wait to see again.  We'll be spending two weeks 'home for the holidays' hopefully making enough memories to fill the year and a half I've been away.

If you see Sammie Miles Davis, Jr. and Bella, give them my love.
