One of my favorite old songs is one my dear friend Ricky Skaggs sings in all his Skaggs Family Christmas performances, “Christmas Times A Comin”. \u00a0 Here are the lyrics;<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n And I know I’m goin’ home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Snow flake’s a-fallin’ <\/span>
\n My old heart’s a-callin’ <\/span>
\n Tall pine’s a-hummin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can’t you hear them bells ringin’, ringin’ <\/span>
\n Joy, don’tcha hear them singin’ <\/span>
\n When it’s snowin’, I’ll be goin’ <\/span>
\n Back to my country home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n And I know I’m goin’ home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

White candle’s burnin’ <\/span>
\n My old heart’s a-yearnin’ <\/span>
\n For the folks at home when <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can’t you hear them bells ringin’, ringin’ <\/span>
\n Joy, don’tcha hear them singin’ <\/span>
\n When it’s snowin’, I’ll be goin’ <\/span>
\n Back to my country home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n And I know I’m goin’ home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Holly’s in the window <\/span>
\n Home where the wind blows <\/span>
\n The cane foam’s a-runnin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can’t you hear them bells ringin’, ringin’ <\/span>
\n Joy, don’tcha hear them singin’ <\/span>
\n When it’s snowin’, I’ll be goin’ <\/span>
\n Back to my country home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n And I know I’m goin’ home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n Christmas Time’s A-Comin’ <\/span>
\n And I know I’m goin’ home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m at the Atlanta Seminar and having a good time being with old and new friends, and enjoying seeing the work of a lot of new, young talent, and that always makes me happy, but the biggest reason I’m happy is that on Sunday morning i will have completed my last major event of 2012, \u00a0and I know I’m goin’ home.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now this doesn’t mean that work is over, but it will be mostly local pro calls and office work and I’ll be close to family and friends.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessed,<\/p>\n
