Bing Crosby performed the first rendition of the song White Christmas, and it has remained as quite possibly the most enduring rendition to the White Christmas lyrics and melody that was written and composed by Irving Berlin. Irving Berlin penned the White Christmas lyrics during the early 1940s, and the first half-finished version of the White Christmas lyrics was possibly written by this man during 1941.

This song has been acclaimed by most music critics as the most beloved and widely known holiday song, and the White Christmas lyrics are known and sung by millions all over the world during the Christmas season.

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.”

Frank Sinatra also has his own rendition of this song, and the New Kids on the Block has also made their own version of this song.
