Yes, 1034 was the year that "Here Comes Constantine" and "Yaaaah! A 
Leper!" were recorded as well as the perennially popular "Mud For 
Christmas" for the kiddies. "Mud For Easter" was the followup.

I think that the success of "Sana Claus Is Coming to Town" (c. 1935) made the compamies see value in other secular songs of the season.? The deluge begins, AFIC, in the '40s, and doen't stp until recent years, with the demise of the 'single'.
