- Home for the Holidays (song)
"(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays" is a popular song, commonly associated with the Christmas season.
The music was written by Robert Allen, the lyrics by Al Stillman. The song was published in 1954.
The best-known recordings were made by Perry Como, who recorded the song twice, in 1954 and in 1959.
The first recording, done on November 16, 1954, was released as a single for Christmas, 1954, by RCA (catalog number 20-5950-B on 78rpm and 47-5950-B on 45rpm). The flip side was "Silk Stockings" and it reached #8 on the Billboard magazine charts in the United States. The next Christmas it was released again, with "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" as the flip side, as RCA 20-6321-A and 47-6321-A.
The same recorded version was released in the United Kingdom by HMV with the catalog number POP-103, with the flip side Tina Marie.
On July 15, 1959, another recording was made, which was released as a 33rpm single (RCA catalog # VP-2066), with flip side "Winter Wonderland" in the US, and as a 45rpm single by HMV in the UK (catalog number RCA-1215). This 1959 version has also appeared on many compilation albums.
The Carpenters recorded a popular cover version that was eventually released on their 1984 album "An Old-Fashioned Christmas".
