The Golden Age of Holiday Music-- Part 2

What can be referred to as the modern golden age of holiday music began in 1932 when a couple of songwriters named J. Fred Coors and Haven Gillespie wrote "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town."    During the next two decades we got "Winter Wonderland" (1934),
"The Little Drummer Boy" (1941),
"White Christmas" (1942),
"I'll Be Home for Christmas" (1943),
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (1944),
"Let it Snow! Let it Snow, Let it Snow" (1945),
"Here Comes Santa Claus" (1946),
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (1949), and
"Frosty the Snowman" (1950)

After Last Winter, DON'T Let It Snow.  ----Cooter
