The sun is shining, the grass is green

The orange and palm trees sway

There’s never been such a day

In Beverly Hills, L.A.

But it’s December the twenty-forth

And I am longing to be up North….

Then the words everyone knows….

I’m dreaming of a White Christmas…..

This was in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s, so no Internet around to check on this, but I always remembered as a “fun fact”. Later, I saw the movie “White Christmas”, and thought “I am going to hear those words now”…but no….

This year, I learned that the song first premiered in film in the movie “Holiday Inn”. I searched for a clip with the performance…but no….

Finally, I found an article where the author stumbled onto this “fun fact” and managed to find a recording of a 1968 TV performance where Bing Crosby (yes, Mr. “White Christmas” himself) sang the original words.

Merry Christmas everyone!
