Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
The song "White Christmas" by Irving Berlin, as performed by Louis Armstrong & Friends, is a classic Christmas song that portrays a longing for a traditional, snowy Christmas. The lyrics start with the line "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" which expresses the desire for a picturesque, snow-covered landscape reminiscent of the singer's childhood memories of Christmases past. The imagery of treetops glistening along with the sound of sleigh bells in the distance evoke a sense of nostalgia and a longing for simpler times.
The next verse adds a layer of sentimentality with the mention of Christmas cards. The singer wishes for not only their own Christmas to be white, but also for the listener's to be just as merry and bright. The repetition of this wish emphasizes the sentiment behind it and emphasizes the traditional interpretation of Christmas as a time of light, warmth, and joy.
Overall, the song "White Christmas" is a reflection on the desire for the ideal Christmas experience, one that is filled with snowy landscapes, Christmas carols, and feelings of love and goodwill towards all.

Louis Armstrong is my biggest inspiration. I am a beginner composer and i've been inspired a lot to make music because of Louis, every time I hear his music it makes me want to make my own music. I'm still just starting though one of the songs inspired by him i posted on my channel and i would love feedback if anyone reading this has the time
