In 1954, Al Stillman and Robert Allen wrote and composed what is now considered to be one of the most iconic Christmas songs of all time. It was titled “(There’s No Place Like) Home For The Holidays” and quickly became a holiday favorite, as it still is today.
It’s been covered by various artists, spanning from Perry Como to The Carpenters, and is one of those generic Christmas songs that everyone can sing along to whether they’ve heard it five times or five hundred.
The lyrics talk about a man from Tennessee heading up to Pennsylvania for some homemade pumpkin pie, as well as Pennsylvanians traveling from their home state to the Dixie Sunny Shores.
