White
Christmas!
The song White Christmas is undoubtedly the most famous and popular of all the Christmas songs. The music and lyrics for White Christmas were written by Irving Berlin in 1942 and originally featured in the movie Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby. The lyrics of White Christmas struck a chord with the soldiers fighting in the Second World War and their families who were waiting for them back home. The song and recording of White Christmas by Bing Crosby with John Scott Trotter's orchestra and the Ken Darby Singers was so popular that it was later reprised in the movie called after its name - White Christmas. The film White Christmas once again starred Bing Crosby together with Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen.
"I the author of this article living in the the south today (Florida) however being born and raised in the state of Maine. Listening to this particular song every year brings back sentimental feelings of my childhood days. When the treetops did glistened with fresh snow and the cold air would keep us all bundled up with warm clothing."
"Lyrics" to White Christmas
Bing Crosby
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white

Ahhh yes, David, I'm also dreaming of a white Christmas. One of my three sister's is of the same mind but no action. I am thinking of Lake Tahoe or NYC. I think her granddaughters will win over me. They'll have a white Christmas alright but it'll be the sandy beaches of South Florida! Ha! Not sure yet what I'll do but if they had their way, I'll be in FL. (I was there at Thanksgiving.) It was a scorcher! Respond to this comment

Yeah Avis, probably next year I'll make it back to my old stomping grounds of southern Maine. where I stand a good chance of seeing that white powder fall to make the season bright.
