Katey's Christmas Card (Schneider John)

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
