圣诞老人 is Coming to Town!

I am dreaming tonight of a place I love

(That would be the grand city of Houston, Texas)

Even more than I usually do

And although I know it's a long road back (Try 7,446 miles)

I promise you...

I'll be home for Christmas

You can count on me

Please have snow humidity and mistletoe Uncle Bill’s hot cheese dip

And presents by the tree

[Hint, hint: new Tory Burch flats (China killed mine), Central Market cooking lessons, every movie Katharine Hepburn ever made, a weekend at Lake Austin Spa]

Christmas Eve will find me

Where the love light gleams

(Jk! It won’t find me with this alleged “love light.” It will find me here. In China.)

I'll be home for Christmas

If only in my dreams

(Looks like dreams will just have to suffice for both Bing and me this year)

Merry Christmas from The Far East!

xx,

Hallie
