Christmas Alphabet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Christmas Alphabet" is a 1955 Christmas song, which became a #1 hit in the United Kingdom for the singer Dickie Valentine.

It was written by Buddy Kaye and Jules Loman, and produced by Dick Rowe. It first entered the UK charts on 25 November 1955, where it spent seven weeks. Three of those were at #1.

It is also the first Christmas #1 that is actually about Christmas, a trend that would continue off and on over the next several decades.
