Fun Facts:

The song Jingle Bells, written in the 1850s for a Unitarian church by James Lord Pierpont, wasn't written for Christmas. It was originally written for Thanksgiving, and called "One Horse Open Sleigh."

According to the Guinness book of world records, White Christmas is the biggest selling Christmas song of all time In 1906, a violin solo of "O Holy Night" was the  second piece of music  to to ever be broadcast on radio.

Mel Tormé's "The Christmas Song" (more commonly known as "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire") was  written during a summer heat wave  in 1944.

Silver Bells, written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, was originally slated to be Tinkle Bell. That was until Livingston’s wife pointed out another meaning for the word tinkle!
