Katherine K. Davis wrote the song, “The Little Drummer Boy” in 1941 but it was a recording of the song in 1958 by The Harry Simeone Chorale that made it popular. The idea of the song is basically of a boy that has no gift to bring before the new born Savior Jesus so his alternative is to play his drum before Jesus. This story is synonymous to the story of Our Lady’s Juggler.

In the year 1957, the song was arranged again by Henry Onorati whose version failed to come out for the incoming Christmas season of the year. When 20th Century Fox Records commissioned Harry Simeone to do a Christmas album, Henry presented the song “Carol of the Drum”. Harry took the song and made a new arrangement for it as well giving a new title “The Drummer Boy”. It was then recorded with Harry Simeone Choral and released in the album “Sing We Now of Christmas. The two got the credit even though they were not the original composers but only made new arrangements.

The song was a hit in the US Musical Charts then Harry Simeone made a new recording of the song under Kapp Records for his new album “O’Bambino”.

As for renditions, the song has more than 200 versions under different languages under all musical genres.

Gift giving during Valentine’s Day nowadays is not limited to couples alone. We give gifts to family members, friends and even co-workers. So, in determining the right gift, one of the factors that we should consider is how well do we know the person who will be receiving the gift? Common sense plays a big role when considering Valentine gifts. Take for example, a gift for a co-worker. It would be better to give a gift basket of goodies rather than perfume since you don’t know your co-worker well enough to know what perfume he or she might prefer. Only your close friends or family should receive perfume as a gift. For your special someone, jewelry always makes an affectionate expression. But flowers, cards and balloons are still the best gifts, either to complement the gifts mentioned or they can work great on their own, and they’re not expensive. Whatever gift one might choose to give, the important thing is that the expression it leaves behind should be lasting.
