"Home for the Holidays" is a Christmas song written by Al Stillman and Robert Allen. It was a hit for Perry Como in 1954, but has also been recorded by numerous other artists. The upbeat song intersperses a chorus about the importance of being at home for holidays, with a quirky verse about people traveling across the US to get home.

- Oh there's no place like home for the holidays
- 'Cause no matter how far away you roam
- When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
- For the holidays you can't be home sweet home
- I met a man who lives in Tennessee and he was heading for
- Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
- From Pennsylvania folks are traveling 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
- 'Cause no matter how far away you roam
- If you want to be happy in a million ways
- For the holidays you can't be home sweet home
