white Christmas

This nostalgic classic is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling single of all time. Irving Berlin wrote 'White Christmas' while in sunny California, telling his secretary, "Grab your pen and take down this song. I just wrote the best song I've ever written — heck, I just wrote the best song that anybody's ever written!" Bing Crosby debuted the song on his radio show The Kraft Music Hall on Christmas Day, 1941. He later recorded it with the John Scott Trotter Orchestra and the Ken Darby Singers as part of an album of songs from the film 'Holiday Inn'. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1942 and spent eleven weeks on top of the Billboard charts, as well as topping the Harlem Hit Parade. Decca re-released the single and it made it to the top of the charts during the holidays in 1945 and 1946, making it the only single to hit number one on three separate occasions. It made twenty separate appearances on the pop chart and has sold more than fifty million copies worldwide.

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,

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

I'm dreaming of a white christmas,

just like the ones I used to know

May your days be merry and bright,

and may all your Christmases be white

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

May your days be merry and bright,

and may all your Christmases be white

And may all your Christmases be white (All your Christmases be white)

And may all your Christmases be white (All your Christmases be white)

And may all your Christmases be

(All your Christmases be white)

(All your Christmases be white)
