Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas'

Home » Arts, music & dance

The song's power transcends its sales figures and commercial ubiquity.
With 'White Christmas,' Berlin created an anthem that spoke eloquently
to its historical moment, offering a comforting Christmas-time vision
to a nation frightened and bewildered by the Second World War. But it
also resonated with some of the deepest strains in American culture:
yearning for an idealized New England past, belief in the ecumenical
magic of the 'merry and bright' Christmas season, pining for the
sanctuaries of home and hearth.
