"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.

That song is seriously sad - it's what "Blue Christmas" tries to be, to some extent.

I now hate all "All I Want For Christmas" type songs - they make me reflect that,yeah, all I want in the world is my niece back. So, ugly crying ensues.
"Blue Christmas", strangely enough, is one I never liked, but now I do.
Grief - it changes things.

FWIW, my mama's (much) elder brother was killed during WWII. She could never hear White Christmas or I'll Be Home For Christmas without thinking of him. She felt that way up through her last Christmas.

I thought I would bump this since I had to listen to my least favorite carol FOUR times yesterday! What's yours?

I'm going on record that I haven't heard a single carol outside of church yet this year. I'm ready to start singing myself!
