Christmas Alphabet
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
"Christmas Alphabet" is a Christmas song written by Buddy Kaye and Jules Loman, first released in 1954 by The McGuire Sisters. In 1955 it became a number-one hit in the UK Singles Chart for the singer Dickie Valentine, a version produced by Dick Rowe.[1] It first entered the UK chart on 25 November 1955, where it spent seven weeks.[1] Three of those were at No. 1.[2] in 1955.[2]
It is also the first Christmas chart topper that is actually about Christmas, a trend that would continue off and on over the next several decades.
