Composition Various stories of the song's origins give the place of composition as Savannah, Georgia, Boston or Medford, Massachusetts.[1] An oft-repeated story is that he wrote it to be sung at a Thanksgiving program at his church in Savannah or Boston, and because of its instant popularity, it was repeated at the Christmas program. The copyright was granted in 1857, and at that time Pierpont was serving as the organist for a Unitarian congregation in Savannah.
