A good ol' classic that I can really relate to right now... as it's supposed to get above 5ºC later this week (at least, where I am)...
"White Christmas" was written by Irving Berlin around 1940. The first public performance of this song was on December 24th, 1941 - "unheralded & unrecorded"* on the Kraft Music Hall radio program - which aired on NBC from 1933 to 1971. The Crosby version itself has reportedly sold over 50 million copies & is one of the most - if not the most - well known versions of White Christmas; it also spent 11 weeks at the top of one of Billboard's charts. However, the recording that is most often heard is his 1947 recording. Enjoy :)
