The birth of the song was entirely by accident despite rumors to the contrary which attribute its conception to the war. Actually, It was composed in 1940. A Hollywood studio had an idea for a motion pic- ture to be called "Holiday Inn," Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. The theme of the picture was based on the holidays of the year and a song was needed to represent each holiday. Irving Berlin was contracted for the compositions. The picture, released in 1942, was synonymous with our second wartime Christmas, and in that year the song sold one million copies in four months. Although nothing is done on the part of the publishers to exploit the song, it automatically rings the register each year as the holiday season approaches. Berlin calls it his favorite long, with the exception of his "God Bless America" written during World War I "It's difficult to predict a song's future," says Berlin, "but Judging from its past, I would say "White Christmas" has a very good chance of becoming a permanent song along with other Christmas carols."
