The song says it best; there really is no place like home for the holidays.
Home is where you can walk around in the dark and not bump into anything. It is where you know all of the little nooks and crannies.
Home is the place that warms your heart just thinking about it.
The best parts of going home for the holidays are:
1. The specific scent of your house
2. Laying in your comfy bed instead of your one at school
