WHITE CHRISTMAS

This is one of the most famous and popular Christmas songs.

White Christmas by Bing Crosby (1947)
  
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas                I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know                    With every Christmas card I write
Where the treetops glisten                               May your days be merry and bright
and children listen                                           And may all your Christmases be white
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

A White Christmas means that at least 2.5 centimetres of snow have fallen on Christmas Morning. This is more common in some countries than in others. For example, in the United Kingdom there are not a lot of White Christmases but in Canada there is almost always a White Christmas.
