In 1955 a cover version recorded by Dickie Valentine and produced by Dick Rowe became a Christmas number one hit in the UK Singles Chart.[1] It first entered the UK chart on 25 November 1955, where it spent seven weeks, three of which were at No. 1.[2]
In the song various things the singer associates with Christmas are listed alphabetically. It is notable for being the first UK Christmas chart topper that is actually about Christmas, a trend that would continue on and off over the next several decades.
