Up on the House Top
"Up on the House Top" is a Christmas song written by Benjamin Hanby in 1864 in the town of New Paris, Ohio.〔Bronson, Fred ("Signs Of The Season" ), Billboard Magazine; December 6, 2007.〕 It has been recorded by a multitude of singers, most notably Gene Autry in 1953.
==History==
According to William Studwell in ''The Christmas Carol Reader'', "Up on the House Top" was the second-oldest secular Christmas song, outdone only by "Jingle Bells", which was written in 1857 (although the latter was originally intended as a Thanksgiving song). It is also considered the first Yuletide song to focus primarily on Santa Claus. According to ''Readers Digest Merry Christmas Song Book'', Hanby probably owes the idea that Santa and his sleigh land on the roof of homes to Clement C. Moore's 1822 poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also commonly known as "The Night Before Christmas").〔http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/Hymns_and_Carols/up_on_the_housetop.htm〕 Benjamin Russell Hanby was born in 1833 near Rushville, Ohio, the son of a minister involved with the Underground Railroad. During his short life, he wrote some 80 songs before dying of tuberculosis in 1867. Other than "Up on the House Top", his best-known song is "Darling Nelly Gray".
