C       Em       Dm    G7
I'll be home for Christmas, 
C       Gm    A   Dm
You can count on  me 
Fm          G7        C     Am
Please have snow, and mistletoe, 
    D7       Dm     G7
and presents on the tree 


C         Em       Dm   G7
Christmas Eve will find me, 
C         Gm   A     Dm
Where the love light gleams 
F       Fm       C     A7
I'll be home for Christmas, 
   D7   Dm  G  C
If only in  my dreams

In the line “and presents on the tree ” I like to add G at the end like:
D7 Dm G7 G

When the chords are D7-Dm-G-C it sounds a lot better to use F instead of D7 as it blends better with the vocal dynamics both soprano and alto

Please do not ask for strumming patterns. Sharing online how to literally play a song (i.e. strumming, rhythm and tempo) is not allowed by the MPA (Music Publishers Association) because of copyright issues.

Carefully listen to the song and try to really "feel" the rhythm. Once you get the basics of strumming, I can assure you it'll go real quick. Maybe the strumming guide can help you on your way.
