Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is an American rock band founded in 1996 by producer, composer, and lyricist Paul O'Neill, who brought together Jon Oliva and Al Pitrelli (both members of Savatage) and keyboardist and co-producer Robert Kinkel to form the core of the creative team. The band gained in popularity when they began touring in 1999 after completing their second album, The Christmas Attic, the year previous. In 2007, The Washington Post referred to them as "an arena-rock juggernaut" and described their music as "Pink Floyd meets Yes and the Who at Radio City Music Hall". TSO has sold more than ten million concert tickets and over ten million albums. The band has released a series of rock operas: Christmas Eve and Other Stories, The Christmas Attic, Beethoven's Last Night, The Lost Christmas Eve, their two-disc Night Castle and Letters from the Labyrinth. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is also known for their extensive charity work and elaborate concerts, which include a string section, a light show, lasers, moving trusses, video screens, and effects synchronized to music.

White Christmas is a 1954 American musical film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen. The film, produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures, is notable for being the first to be released in VistaVision, a widescreen process developed by Paramount that used twice the surface area of standard 35mm film. Filmed in Technicolor, it features songs by Irving Berlin, including a new version of the title song "White Christmas," which was first introduced by Crosby in the 1942 film Holiday Inn. The plot follows Broadway star Captain Bob Wallace and aspiring performer Private Phil Davis, who, after entertaining soldiers in Europe during World War II, become a famous song-and-dance team after the war. While performing in Florida, they meet the Haynes sisters, Betty and Judy, and are persuaded to spend Christmas at the failing Columbia Inn in Pine Tree, Vermont, where their former commanding general, Major General Thomas F. Waverly, is the nearly bankrupt owner. To save the inn, the group stages a large musical show, which ultimately attracts guests and brings snow to the town on Christmas Eve. ----- https://www.amazon.com/White-Christmas-Bing-Crosby/dp/B00004YNIX Christmas Playlist: https://rumble.com/playlists/OHvx0B68gPE Lyrics: [Verse 1: Bing Crosby & Choir] I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know (Ooh) Where the treetops glisten and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow [Verse 2: Bing Crosby & Choir] I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write (Ooh) May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white [Verse 1: Choir] I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know (Ooh) Where the treetops glisten and children listen To hear (To hear the sleigh bеlls in the snow) [Verse 2: Choir, Bing Crosby, Both] I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With еvery Christmas card I write (Mm) May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white (Mm) Mm-mm-mm (Mm)

2000 Miles is a song by the British rock band Pretenders. Written by lead vocalist Chrissie Hynde and produced by Chris Thomas, it was released on 18 November 1983 as the second single from their third studio album, Learning to Crawl (1984). It was most popular in the UK, where it peaked at No. 15 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1983. In the US, it was released as the B-side of both the 7-inch single and 12-inch single remix of the band's hit "Middle of the Road". Influenced by Otis Redding's "Thousand Miles Away",the song was written a year after the band's guitarist, James Honeyman-Scott, had died of a drug overdose in 1982. Hynde has noted that she thinks "the sense of distance in the lyrics" refers to Honeyman-Scott". Considered a Christmas song, it has been released on various Christmas compilation albums.

In 1978, the rock band Eagles covered and released the song as a holiday single. Their version peaked at number 18 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the first Christmas song to reach the Top 20 on that chart since Roy Orbison's "Pretty Paper" in 1963. This was the first Eagles song to feature Timothy B. Schmit on bass (having replaced founding member Randy Meisner the previous year). The lineup features Don Henley (drums/lead vocals), Glenn Frey (piano, backing vocals), Joe Walsh (guitar, backing vocals), Schmit (bass/backing vocals), and Don Felder (lead guitar). Originally released as a vinyl 7" single, it was re-released as a CD single in 1995, reaching number 15 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. This version includes the lyrics "bells will be ringing the sad, sad news" (that is, a Christmas alone) as opposed to Brown's original version which references the "glad, glad news" (that is, Christmas in general).
