Guitar chord White Christmas

White Christmas, written by Irving Berlin in 1940, was inspired by Berlins longing for the traditional snowy Christmas of the northern United States, a stark contrast to the warm Californian weather he was experiencing. First performed by Bing Crosby in 1942, the song quickly became an emblem of nostalgia and hope during World War II, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time.
