Holiday Snooze

( A cartoon dedicated to all who choose to stay home and avoid the travel & traffic mess.)

Our Midi Title = "I'll Be Home For Christmas"
Want to sing along? Here are the lyrics:

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love,
Even more than I usually do.
And, although I know it's a long road back,
I promise you...

I'll be home for Christmas,
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams,
I'll be home for Christmas,
If only in my dreams.

The song was written by Kim Gannon (lyrics) born in Brooklyn, NY.
The music was written by Walter Kent, born in Manhattan, NY.
It song captured the hearts of the world in 1943 as the wartime Christmas song on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Bing Crosby originally recorded it with his soft, soothing voice.
Later on, the popularity of the song spread through a new generation with Elvis Presley recording it. And, today it is considered a soldier's Christmas theme song, recorded by many artists in all musical varieties and sung among soldiers themselves during the holiday season.
