The whole town was closing down early  For another Christmas Eve  The bright colored lights,  From the neighbor’s front window  Were bringing back warm memories.    He thought of his wife and little Katey  In the house on the far side of town  As he got to the door,  He opened his mailbox  And read the one card he found    It Said:  There’s no place like home for Christmas  There’s no better feeling I know  With presents ‘round the tree  And your whole family  And Christmas won’t be Christmas  If you’re not comin’ home    Katey ran up to her momma  Who was sittin’ all alone and feeling sad  And said “Here’s a card  The mailman just brought you.  I wonder, could it be from dad?”    It read:  There’s no place like home for Christmas  There’s no better feeling I know  With presents ‘round the tree  And your whole family  And Christmas won’t be Christmas  If I’m not comin’ home    All it took was one kiss in the doorway  They could feel that old feeling again  The look in their eyes  So loving and tender  Was just like it was back then  Katey watched them together  And she brushed a tear drop away  And smiled as she thought  Of those two Christmas cards  She mailed just yesterday    She cried:  There’s no place like home for Christmas  There’s no better feeling I know  With presents ‘round the tree  And your whole family  Now this Christmas can be Christmas  ‘Cause everybody’s home  Now this Christmas can be Christmas  ‘Cause everybody’s home
