St. Anthony Messenger (a publication normally of dubious value) has an interesting article on the background of the Christmas carol "Do You Hear What I Hear" and that it was actually written in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis by the same composers who wrote "Rain, Rain, Go Away."

Confirming that fact on the web I ran across this link:

about Catholic groups selling buttons that say
“It’s OK to Say Merry Christmas to Me”
Thanks for pointing out this article! My parents get the magazine, but I don’t read it as much as I used to.
We’re singing that in choir this year, so it’s good to know.
