I'll Be Home For Christmas" is a Christmas song recorded in 1943 by Bing Crosby who scored a top ten hit with the
song. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" has since gone on to become a
Christmas standard
The song is sung from the point of view of an overseas soldier during WWII, writing a letter to his family. In the message, he tells the family that he will be coming home, and to prepare the holiday for him including requests for "snow", "mistletoe", and "presents on the tree". The song ends on a melancholy note, with the soldier saying "I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams."
