The original Christmas carols were about the birth of Jesus. It wasn't until much, much later that Santa Claus entered the equation. The first Christmas song to mention Santa Claus was Benjamin Hanby's “Up on The Housetop.” Written in 1864, Hanby was inspired by Clement Moore's 1823 poem “A Visit from Saint Nicholas.”
