Katey's Christmas Card

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
