BEST SONG FOR CHRISTMAS FOR THE NEXT 1, 000 YEARS.

[TheManorBeast]

‘I was a happy chap in them days’

My god did I feel that.

Last year I found out that he went to my mum’s secondary school, he was a few years older than her so she didn’t meet him, but every time I hear Driving Home For Christmas it reminds me of that☺️

Driving home for Christmas can be played anytime of the year, it's such a happy feeling type of song.
Cheers Chris

Christmas time does not start until "Driving Home for Christmas" is played. For me it is the most emotional Christmas song. It reflects the anticipation of seeing our adult children again, coming home from all over the country.
Thank you so much for this song!

Chris, I heard your song Driving Home For Christmas for the first time (65) years old and it just gave me such a warm feeling. I love 💕 it and will continue to listen to all year long. Thank you!!!

In September 1989 my father borrowed a 1984 Jaguar XJ6 from a friend. I was 17 and I was allowed to drive it - couldn't believe my luck. It came with a tape stuck in the tape deck. "On the Beach" - by somebody called "Chris Rea". I had no choice but to listen to it as I drove. Looking back the second best thing about 1989 was the XJ6. Sweet September, I remember...

I am here in the US and I have never heard this song until yesterday, it’s playing on a music service at work. I love the piano and this song makes me happy. Even Nat King Cole would love this song. I must have it in my car before the season ends.

Funny, I never knew the story behind it. A classic song that will never fade away!

It touches my heart, when I hear this song, I think of my son who drives home for Christmas every year. I shared it with him and he said he'll be listening to this song as she drives home this year. It simply warms the heart and makes you feel that loving family Christmas Spirit emotion. I immediately purchased it for my playlist. It is one of my top favorites Christmas songs. Just beautiful :)

[ferryhanson]

That's the way things are.... amazing

[lilyherbal]

Wow...how time fly....love your music and beautiful vocal. 😍😍😍

This is the best contemporary Christmas song ever. Meeting friends and family for Christmas is the heartfelt message of this song. The rolling piano riff and Chris's slide guitar give the song that special sound. Thank you Chris for this stroke of genius.
