White Christmas

On this joyous holiday season, I have to share this video with you because I love it and because it is a part of Baby Boomer history I’m sure you will all remember.  This rendition of White Christmas was recorded by Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters in 1953. It was #2 on the charts in 1954. Animation is by Joshua Held in 2002. White Christmas was written by Irving Berlin for the Movie “Holiday Inn” and recorded by Bing Crosby in 1942, and received the Academy Award in that year. Crosby recorded it again in 1947, and that recording has become the standard. It was also featured in the 1954 movie White Christmas with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen. White Christmas is the biggest selling Christmas song of all time. Thank you for reading my blog and may this Christmas bring you everything you wish for and may it be the first of many more to come your way.
