WHAT THE INSPIRATION WAS FOR 4 CHRISTMAS SONGS, AND THEIR ORIGINAL TITLES
1. One song was inspired and written on a ranch in Wyoming. Late one evening, a rancher heard beautiful rhythmic singing coming from outside. When he got dressed and investigated, to his surprise, it was his own steer singing. He was so impressed, he wrote a song, with the initial title being, “Carol of the Bulls”.
2. Another holiday season favorite was composed on a camping trip in Yellowstone National Park. While hiking, a man saw a geyser for the first time and was astounded as he stared at in awe. He wrote a song within minutes, calling it “O Come, All Ye Old Faithful”.
3. This seasonal classic was actually written on an airplane by a very unattractive woman en route to visit her family. She also later slightly changed the title, but it was first called, “I’ll be homely for Christmas”.
4. While a family was at home on Christmas Eve, the pipes under their sink broke and begin to flood their kitchen. A ten year old kid in the neighborhood heard about the problem, and immediately went to their house. He quickly fixed the pipes and saved the day. The family was so grateful, that they all collectively wrote a song as a tribute to the young child and his abilities, with the original title being “The Little Plumber Boy”.
