I'll be Home for Christmas

Christmas is in the air. Tonight we went to a Christmas carol service in the Sheldonian Theater. It was such a joy to sing carols with friends and welcome in the Christmas season. After the service we headed over to St. Aldates for mince pies, which are my favourite Christmas treat. Oxford is so joyful this time of year, holiday lights dancing overhead and Christmas trees in every window. I'm still loving Oxford and will miss this place terribly, but I'm also missing home more than I have in a long time. Tonight I'm dreaming of home.

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
