I didn't know until just yesterday that the song was written by a guy from Philadelphia:

Rector Phillips Brooks (1835-1903) of Philadelphia, wrote the words to O Little Town of Bethlehem in 1868, following a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He was inspired by the view of Bethlehem from the hills of Palestine especially at night time hence the lyrics of O Little Town of Bethlehem. His church organist Lewis Redner (1831-1908) wrote the melody to O Little Town of Bethlehem for the Sunday school children's choir.

You're up, Hotmnkyluv. Go hide.

You said landlocked but I don't think there are any left unless I only consider oceanic coastal states being excluded by "landlocked".
