Default Winter Wonderland, 1934

Winter Wonderland, Music by Felix Bernard, Words by Dick Smith.
Composed in 1934, and originally sang by Richard Himber.
The song is about a couple's romance during the winter season.

December is always a joyous occasion with lots of music and food, and lights, and parols, and more food!!! I also always associate this occasion with cold weather and white snow.
I remember Mama would bring out grapes and apples on the midnight of the 24th, which is a very special treat for all of us.

Merry Christmas to one and all!!!

Rene, that was simply fantastic. A great classic and your rendition reminds me of the Johnny Mathis version that was so popular many years ago.

Your performance really locked in the Christmas spirit for me. Thanks so much for posting this, Rene.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Roger

Very nice, Rene! I enjoyed that!

As an aside, this is one of those Christmas songs that I regularly sing to my wife around the house, except that I make up my own words to make my wife laugh.

Loved it, Rene!

Another great performance Rene.

The sweater sets the mood perfectly

And perhaps I have not been paying attention but is that a new Ear Trumpet ?

Rene, you always pour such emotion into your tunes, and give them your own twists. It's a great listen.
Great job on this timely classic. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Kev,
Always a pleasure to hear from you!
Yes, this is an Ear Trumpet Labs "Edwina", but it is not new.
I have been using this for a while now, and I love it.
Merry Christmas to you and your whole family!!!
With love and respect,
Rene
