Perhaps one of the strangest Christmas songs to become popular was written by Donald Gardner in 1944. A schoolteacher in Smithtown, New York, he asked the class what they all wanted for Christmas. Since most of them were of the age where baby teeth begin to fall out, he noticed that nearly all the kids answered him in a lisp. So he wrote "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth"... and the rest is history.
