Sharing My Holiday Home

Snowy footprints lead the way up the drive to my front door
Through a path of four foot high light up candy canes they soar
Beautiful wreath of glorious design greeting loved ones so dear
Welcome to my "holiday home" at this special time of year

Come inside to coziness and enjoy the trimmings everywhere
Garlands entwined on banisters,red velvet draped across each chair
Twinkling silver lights as a vision of the tree grows near
Welcome to my "holiday home" at this special time of year

Make yourself at home as you indulge in festive sweets
Every table brimming with salty nuts and Yule time treats
Let me make you comfortable as you enjoy a cup of cheer
Welcome to my "holiday home" at this special time of year

As we gather 'round the tree we sing aloud the songs we love
Of Santa and his reindeer and of course the child sent from above
Then we open all the gifts when Christmas's bounty is made clear
Welcome to my "holiday home" at this special time of year

We'll sit down to a scrumptious feast at a table overflowing
Look around at all our loved ones,faces so alive and glowing
Wonderful to be together with the ones we hold so dear
Welcome to my "holiday home" at this special time of year

As the snowfall grows by inches outside on the frozen ground
We are inside nice and toasty spreading all this love around
Gather up some extra blankets,everyone is staying here
Welcome to my "holiday home" at this special time of year
