"White Christmas" by Irving Berlin, first performed on the radio by Bing Crosby Christmas Day, 1941, with America still reeling from the Pearl Harbor attack three weeks earlier. Millions of American men were heading off to war and who knew how many Christmases away from home, and the sentimental lyrics struck a chord with the people. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", first popularized by Judy Garland (Dorothy from "The Wizard Of Oz") in 1944, also a sentimental song about separation and dreams of home, at the height of the war. "I'll be Home For Christmas" recorded in 1943 by Bing Crosby, on the same themes.
