It seems like almost a year has past since I last saw your faces
Not much has changed around here
but you know that's what brings me home to you
Home for the holidays
It wouldn't be Christmas if I was away
Home for the holidays
It's so good to be here with those that I hold dear
I'm home for the holidays
Making the most of each moment
we have to carry throughout the year
And every memory we share
is a treasure that we can hold near
Home for the holidays
It wouldn't be Christmas if I was away
Home for the holidays
It's so good to be here with those that I hold dear
I'm home for the holidays
Only the birth of the Christ child
could warm this cold world for a day
And only the power of God's only son
could bring us together this way
As we stare at the tree all aglow
we know in our hearts the true reason
If god came to earth in the form of a man
a gift that will last beyond the season
Let's make it last always
Home for the holidays
It wouldn't be Christmas if I was away
Home for the holidays
It's so good to be here with those that I hold dear
I'm home for the holidays

Just for memory's sake. This is my favourite Christmas song since songs were still on casette tapes.
And now when I'm here in China, this is the only song I really want to sing, and yet it's a really painful song to sing, because I'm not home...
And here I am, still trying to memorise damn Chinese, with not much going into my head, and thinking of Christmas and everything that is going on at home and how much I really REALLY want to go home right now...
I know my wonderful family is having some form of a potluck, since they were discussing what food they were bringing on whatsapp.
And seeing all the pictures on Facebook and stuff... Sigh... I guess I just miss home... Badly...
I mean, it's really fun and nice to celebrate Christmas with friends and all, but there's something about family that is home to me.
Sigh... Nothing sucks more than the knowledge of how dependent you are, when you are trying so hard to prove that you are not...
