“Oh
the first snowfall of the winter
Was
a day that we all waited for …
Oh
the first snowfall of the winter
Jingle
bells wove their spells ever dear
Under
wintry skies of gray
It
was snowing hard all day
And
it showed no signs of stoppin …
On
the first snowfall of the winter
Oh,
that first snowfall of the year …”
~
“The First Snowfall”
~ written by
Paul Francis Webster
& Sonny Burke
~ recorded by the wonderful Bing Crosby
on November 22, 1955
~
Crosby was the first popular singer
to record Christmas songs.
All
is quiet as the snow softly continues to fall as sunset draws near during the
first snowfall of the season at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Though the first snow fell December 9, 2017, a few weeks before the official
beginning of winter, it blanketed the late autumn landscape with the hushed
beauty of winter.
