The composer of this Christmas Carol wrote this song for his father's Sunday school class to sing at the church's Thanksgiving service in 1857.
(Hint)...Even though this popular Christmas carol has been performed and recorded by Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Count Basie, Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nat King Cole ... it might be the 1955 canine version by Don Clark which might be the most memorable.

TODAY'S QUIZ...#47-C
The composer of today's Christmas carol is Meredith Willson, who is probably best known as the composer who gave Broadway one of its finest moments with 'The Music Man,' starring Robert Preston.
That was in 1950. A year later, he wrote today's Christmas carol and Perry Como's 1951 recording with The Fontane Sisters reached #20 on the pop charts. A recording of today's carol is heard prominently in the movie: 'Home Alone 2: Lost in NY.'
