1. I thought "White Christmas" was his second most famous Christmas song |
|
after this one, which he claims sold more than White Christmas and is therefore (or was at one time) the greatest selling recording ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-2Tnp9whDU

2. But the other one was in "Christmas Vacation" |
|
Sorry if I made it sound like some sort of official claim. It's just a kind of cool song, a little different than the narcotic "White Christmas" or that version of "Silent Night"

4. I'm behind an annoying firewall... |
|
so I can't see which song it is.
But my favorite Bing Crosby Christmas song is his duet with David Bowie.

5. it's "Mele Kalikimaka" |
|
the sort of Hawaiian Christmas song... it's in "Christmas Vacation" where Clark is gazing out the back window, imagining life with a swimming pool...

6. "Hi Bing, Iggy and I were just in the neighborhood to score some blow... |
|
and I thought I would stop by and see how you were doing. Maybe do a song. Iggy's just waiting in the car"
It is a nicely done song (and I generally hate Xmas music),but that is how I have always liked to imagine what led Bowie to show up on Crosby's doorstep :)
