When Berlin married Ellin Mackay, the Comstock Lode heiress, the bride`s father wrote her out of his will for marrying a Jew. Berlin then assigned the copyright of his popular song, "Always", to her, which yielded very handsome royalties as the years went by. And true to the sentiments of the song, Berlin devoted himself to his lovely wife for the rest of her long life.
When their infant son, Irving Berlin, Jr., died Christmas morning, 1928, from typhoid fever, Ellin, who was estranged from her father, heard from him for the first time when he sent her a letter of condolence. They fully reconciled in 1931.
Christmas was always a bittersweet time for the Berlin family. Every year, on Christmas Day, the Berlins would lay a Christmas wreath on Irving Jr.`s grave, a tradition their heirs carry on today.
