In brief
Robert Allen and Al Stillman understood the American road in December: the train, the traffic, the pull of a table. Home for the Holidays (1954) made that trip a standard.
Both men wrote widely for pop singers of the 1950s. This song is the one that returns every year, like the trip it describes.
