This is my favorite Christmas song. The lyrics and melody of this charming song were written and composed by Irving Berlin. The song was first introduced in the 1942 musical Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Twelve years later Crosby did a semi-remake of the film “White Christmas” and it has remained as quite possibly the most enduring rendition to the White Christmas

Irving Berlin wrote over 400 songs, such as No Business Like Show Business, Easter Parade, and the widely popular God Bless America. But of course, the song White Christmas still remains as this songwriter’s most beloved melody.

Most people reckon that Irving Berlin had written this song while being inspired during his Beverly Hills trip. He was doing a movie at this place, and he got probably homesick enough that he had written the words that now make up the White Christmas song. Below is the lyrical content of this song:

“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
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.”
