Home for the Holidays - The Petersens (LIVE)

We loved covering this Christmas classic! We even have Julianne on the twin fiddle for an extra fun addition. She came back home from college this week and we have loved having her in the shows again, there's no place like "Home for the Holidays."

►LYRICS - (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
For no matter how far away you roam
When you long for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home

I met a man who lived in Tennessee
An' he was headed for Pennsylvania
And some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania, folks are traveling
Down to Dixie's* sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific
Gee, the traffic is terrific^

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause 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 [x2]

For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays

Nickname for the southern states
^ Sarcasm, it's bad traffic
