MY SAY: FOR SOLDIERS WHO SERVE ABROAD.
The song “ I’ll Be Home for Christmas” is about an overseas soldier during WWII, writing a letter to his family. He tells the family that he will be coming home, and to prepare the holiday for him with “presents on the tree” but ends on a melancholy note, with the soldier saying “I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams.” It was composed by Walter Kent a Jewish American composer who also wrote wrote the music for the wartime classic ” The White Cliffs of Dover”.
