- A Finnish ex-pat in Leipzig, Germany
Going to meet fellow ex-pat Scandinavians here in Leipzig, Germany later today in our annual early Christmas party, celebrated always a day before Advent Sunday which this year is tomorrow, 1st of December. Speaking of many years of experience I know tonight and tomorrow I will be really homesick.
My cousin, also an ex-pat living in Dublin sent me this video. It really suits my mood so I want to share it with you geeks, here on "Today" rather than on Youtube thread.
About the song:

About the song:
(Video: I?m Coming Home ? Irish Christmas Song Dedicated To Emigrants | Her.ie - The website for Irish women)One of the song’s creators, Shane Davis, told the that the song “focuses on the hundreds of thousands of Irish abroad this Christmas who will not be able to make it home for Christmas, a very poignant and current affair”.
The video features clips of emigrants around the world sending messages home to their loved ones and it definitely made us think of friends and family that we will miss this Christmas.
