It is a song written in the World War II time period. Irving Berlin wrote the song for the American Red Cross Association because of all of their hard work nursing the wounded soldiers in the war.

How long did it take Irving Berlin to write 'White Christmas'?

It remains a mystery where and when and how long it took Irving Berlin to write White Christmas because Mr Berlin gave many different accounts. According to Wikipedia he may have written it in 1940 while pool side at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix Arizona. Weight is added to this story by a call he is said to have placed to his secretary. He said "grab a pen and take down this song. Its the best song I've ever written-heck its the best song anybody has ever written." Mr Berlin often stayed up all night writing but maybe he did write it pool side in a short period of time.

What inspired Irving Berlin to write 'White Christmas'?

He never gave an answer to what inspired him to write the classic Christmas song. Irving Berlin was often away from home and family in the East. In 1937 a producer friend sent him a short video of his family waving to him from in front of the family home on a snowy winter day. That could have triggered an idea. He is also said to have possibly been influenced by Robert Frost's poem Stopping by Woods On A Snowy Evening or by Stephen Foster's Home Songs.
