Arguably Home for the Holidays-an auto-age update of the old Thanksgiving sleigh song ( Over the river and through the woods-) not the PATH parody- Under the river and through the tubes!- if one analyzes the lyrics, Holiday is of course alluded to as are home cooking and travel between different regions of the US (another clue- the song not only does not mention Christmas, but is all-American in its family traditions. Home for the holidays is the obvious answer, I don:t like its political bent.
It can be argued that (Home for the Holidays) which sounds like an ad for a motel chain playing up interstate travel in the holiday season- could be. if you listen carefully it does not mention Christmas or any Yule trappings such as Santa, Snow, trees, etc- it could just as well apply to Thanksgiving, another Family-oriented holiday. The song was recorded by Bing Crosby and others. (over the River and through the woods) or the subway version- Under the River and through the Tubes) specifically targets Thanksgiving day- oddly both songs mention Pumpkin Pie.
The song that was originally written for Thanksgiving was Jingle Bells.
