Perry Como has a very fine, silky voice, just the sort of voice one needs for a sentimental song full of familiar phrases such as “there’s no place like home” and “home sweet home”. It sounds as if he is singing about Thanksgiving, as he sings of “homemade pumpkin pie”, a traditional dish for the Thanksgiving holiday. Thanksgiving for Americans is much like Spring Festival for us, a time when families try to get back together. In America people often travel many miles to get back to their hometown, whether it’s from north to south, “Pennsylvania … down to Dixie” (Dixie is a traditional name for the American South) or from east to west, “the Atlantic to Pacific”.
