==Album==
The song "White Christmas" also appeared on the album ''Merry Christmas'' by Bing Crosby. This album was originally released in 1945 as a 10-song 78 [[rpm]] set of records, and re-released in 1947 with the re-recorded version of "White Christmas". In 1955 a 33-1/3 rpm album of the same name was released, which included the original ten tracks plus four new tracks (easily recognizable by their different, more jazzy and upbeat sound). This album has remained in print to the present and is available on [[compact disc]]; in the 1990s the album was re-titled ''White Christmas'', with the same content as the 1955 album. The album is notable for its [[Christian]] content (including such [[hymn]]s as "Faith of Our Fathers", reflecting Bing Crosby's [[Catholic]] faith), in contrast to today's mushy attempts at secularizing and multicultularizing the Christmas holiday season.

==In popular culture==
The term "white Christmas" refers to any weather event which leaves snow on the ground on Christmas Day, especially in areas where snow is generally rare. A notable snowstorm happened on Christmas Eve in 2004, leaving snow on the ground the following Christmas Day in [[Brownsville]], [[Texas]] (the first recorded snowfall, other than air flurries, since 1899), [[Corpus Christi]] (5.2 inches, more snow than had been recorded at any time in all previous years combined), and Victoria, Texas (a remarkable 13 inches, given that Victoria is only 30 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico). [[Houston]] and [[New Orleans]] also had snowfall on the ground.
