Home for the Holidays

I met a man who lived in Tennessee and he was headed for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie.
From Pennsylvania folks are travelin' down
to Dixie's sunny shores.
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee the traffic is terrific.

Oh there's no place like home for the holidays.
For no matter how far away you roam,
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home.

These classic lyrics by the Carpenters (written from memory, excuse any mistakes) have been on my mind a lot this week because we "traveled down" from Pennsylvania to visit our family in Texas. It is home sweet home indeed and we are so glad to be here. Dixie's sunny shores it is NOT, though. Although it was sunny and warm yesterday for the first day of our visit, today turned cold. Would you believe we are going to have a White Christmas in Texas?

A white Texas Christmas will just get you all "warmed" up for your white Missouri Christmas---as if you don't have enough Pennsylvania snow. Whatever the weather---we can't wait to see you!
