Robert Allen and Al Stillman wrote a very American song in 1954, and “Home for the Holidays” is grounded in the trips that get underway in the song’s bridge.
I always wondered about that lyric "Oh the Traffic is Terrific" when I was backed up on 81 heading north before Christmas with that tune in the tape deck.
Excellent writing, Gerry. I think you're right on point here. There are reasons why the America we knew and that we still remember is mostly gone now, but this is not the time nor the place to go into all that. So I'll just say, Thanks for your insightful and knowledgeable piece, and wish you and your family a truly Merry Christmas. Take care, sir.
