About The Song
The song “I’ll Be Home On Christmas Day” is a Christmas song recorded by Elvis Presley for his 1971 album Elvis sings The Wonderful World of Christmas. It has since been played every Christmas in Times Square to kick off the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The song was written by Michael Jarrett.
The song expresses the deep yearning and longing to be with loved ones during the holiday season. Elvis’s passionate vocals capture the yearning perfectly, making the song relatable to anyone who has ever been away from home during the holidays.
It was the first Christmas song Elvis ever recorded. It has been covered by many artists, including Neil Diamond, Kenny Rogers, and Martina McBride. It was featured in the films “Home Alone” and “The Santa Clause.”
