We just learned about the Christmas Song Here Comes Santa Claus.
Another famous Christmas song is Up on the Housetop.
This song was writen in America by Benjamin Hanby in 1864.
It is the oldest Christmas song that is about Santa Claus.
This song was written right after the book "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" came out, which told the story about Santa landing up on someone's roof with the reindeer.
So people think that Hanby came up with the idea for his song from the story in the book.
