"I'll Be Home for Christmas" makes me sad as well. When I was in first grade, I was chosen to read in our Christmas pageant. After that song played, I had to read this line, which I have hated for the past twenty-eight years:
"Everyone dreams of being home for Christmas, but some can only be home in their dreams."
It always made me feel very guilty and sad and I promised to always be home for Christmas...until last year, when my fiancé and I went to Paris for the holidays. That song came on in one of the restaurants and I was MIZ.
