It’s the holidays and every year I think about the enlisted men and women that put themselves in harms way to protect our freedom. Most can’t be with their families for the holidays and when they can, it’s very special. That’s why I wrote this song called Daddy’s Coming Home for Christmas.
I made a video out of it and hope you will enjoy it.
According to an article in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, July 4, 2011, nearly 44% of active duty members of the military have a total of almost 1.2 million children. About three quarters of the kids are 11 years of age or younger and 42% of the kids are 5 years or younger.
Here are the lyrics:
Daddy’s really coming home for Christmas
Mommy said he’s coming home to stay
Santa found a way
To fit him in his sleigh
The greatest gift that I could ever have on Christmas day
Oh, Santa
Daddy’s coming home for Christmas
I hung up his stocking next to mine
Then my mom and me
Hung ribbons on the tree
Every yellow one that we could find
Daddy’s really coming home for Christmas
I can’t wait till he’s back home again
He’ll tuck me in at night
And I can hug him tight
And we can be together as a family again
Daddy’s coming home for Christmas
I am just as excited as can be
And everywhere we go
Everyone will know
Daddy’s back at home with mom and me
I can’t wait to see you daddy
Daddy’s really coming home to me
Merry Christmas
Thank you Santa
