Subject: "We Won't Be Home for Christmas"
Written By: SammyReed on 12/16/02 at 07:46 p.m.
There was a Christmas song that I heard for a few times in the 90's that said:
We're here in Dawson City, and it's 48-below
but we're warm by the fire, and Gene just said hello.
We won't be home for Christmas, tell the family of this call.
We love you and miss you, all
The song goes on and on about how they can't go home for Christmas because they have money problems and this & that, and about they great things they would be doing if the family was together for Christmas, etc. Pretty sad-sack stuff. Your Christmas probably wouldn't be too merry with that song, which may explain its scarcity of airplay.
I'd like to know the name of who sang it, and other comments from anyone else who has suffered with this song.

I think I better clarify things here. What it's about is, the woman singing the song is talking to her mom & dad on the phone about how she and her husband & kids are unable to visit her old home place for Christmas this year like they have before.
Now I think I'm making more sense ... which is still more than I can say for this song. ::)

(It's been a long time since you asked the question, but here goes...)
I just got off the phone with the singer and composer, Marie Gogo. She was very happy to hear that people are asking about her song.
You can download the song at mp3.com/mariegogo, where you can also order her CDs.
Marie frequently performs in the Toronto area. She is also a member of Memories of Don Messer's Jubilee, which is planning a cross-Canada tour in spring 2004.

It's been a couple of months between that reply being written and me doing a search and finding the message.
Thank you very much, Steve, for clearing up that mystery! It's a good feeling knowing you're not the only person in the world who hears a song and you don't sound stupid to other people for mentioning it.
Well, it's 1 down, 1 to go. The mystery of the female version of "Every Day" is still bugging me. If anyone knows anything about that, please follow this link below and reply there. Thank you very much!
