#carpenters (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays, cover and lyric video
*For entertainment purposes only. Lyric video created with Canva and iMovie.*
The Carpenters' rendition of Home for the Holidays, from their second Christmas album, An Old-Fashioned Christmas (1984), brings me all the cozy holiday feels. With Karen providing the lead vocals, accompanied by nostalgic choral background vocals, she sings about the comfort of being "home sweet home" with your family and friends, where you can be "happy in a million ways."
They certainly weren't the first to sing this holiday classic (Perry Como introduced it in 1955), but because of the genuine warmth and happiness of Karen's voice, this version will always be my favorite!
Recording my vocals, I'll admit, was intimidating, as I had some big magical shoes to fill. What I hope I was able to capture was that warmth that Karen brought as I connected to my own Christmas memories of home and family, and the extra joy I feel around the holidays!

Lyrics
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 lives in Tennessee, and he was headin' for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks are travelin' 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!
I met a man who lives in Tennessee and he was headin' for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks are travelin' 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!
For the holidays you can't beat home, sweet home!
