I'll be home for Christmas
I plan to be at home for Christmas.
You can count on me
You can rely on me to fulfill this commitment.
Please have snow and mistletoe
I hope there will be snow and mistletoe, traditional symbols of the holiday season.
And presents under the tree
Expect to find gifts beneath the Christmas tree.
Christmas eve will find me

If only in my dreams
