home for christmas.


I can't help but tear up when I hear the song "I'll be home for Christmas." In the past, I didn't pay too much attention to the words, but this year the lyrics tug at my heart. This is my very first Christmas away from home and I now understand what it means to "be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams." Sending our love to family and friends this Christmas. We miss you all!


"I am dreaming tonight
of a place that I love
Even more then I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you...

I'll be home for Christmas...
If only in my dreams."

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas (despite being so far away). Maybe next year you won't have to be home just in your dreams.
