| "White Christmas" is an Irving Berlin song, the lyrics of which reminisce about White Christmases. The morning after he wrote the song — Berlin usually stayed up all night writing — the songwriter went to his office and told his musical secretary, "Grab your pen and take down this song. I just wrote the best song I've ever written — hell, I just wrote the best song that anybody's ever written!". Berlin wrote the song in early 1940 while sitting poolside at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. The original verse pokes fun at a well-off Los Angeleno who, amid orange and palm trees, longs for traditional Christmas "up north." Berlin later dropped the verse but kept the now-famous chorus. The "There's never been a day in old L.A." verse regarding Los Angeles can be heard on the famous album A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector, also known as the Phil Spector Christmas Album, in a soulful rendition performed by Darlene Love. "White Christmas" was introduced by Bing Crosby in the 1942 musical Holiday Inn. [1] |
