Most Christmas songs are likely to feature one of two people: Jesus or Santa. And while people have been singing Christmas hymns and carols about Jesus since the Fourth century, songs about Santa Claus arrived a little later.
It’s believed that the tune, Up On the Housetop, written in 1864 by Benjamin Hanby, a church pastor, has the first mention of Santa in song. The concept of the song is probably inspired by the 1822 poem by Clement C. Moore, A Visit from St. Nicholas, more popularly known as The Night Before Christmas. Gene Autry is perhaps most famous for covering the song in 1953 .
