White Christmas?

When you think of a White Christmas you don't think of sunny Phoenix, Arizona first, do you?

Well, that is precisely why Irving Berlin penned the words, "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas." It was the holiday season and he was dreaming of snow, but he was lounging by the Catalina Pool at the Arizona Biltmore.

He would travel to Arizona during the winter months to escape the cold of New York and in 1939 wrote what would become a classic holiday tune.

As we approach the 70th anniversary of that song, we celebrate all that is the holidays, and this year, that even means snow!

Stay tuned for more.....
