'The Christmas Waltz' was written in Los Angeles during a heat wave in 1954 by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne for Sinatra because 'Frank wants a Christmas song'.
In the end it became the B-side to the Chairman of the Board's version of Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas'.
Me, I'm partial to the 3,847th cover of the tune by M. Ward and Z. Deschanel.
Here's E's version...
