- Felix William Bernard 1897 - 1944. An American conductor, pianist and a composer of popular music. His writing credits include the popular songs "Winter Wonderland" (with lyricist Richard B. Smith) and "Dardanella".
"Winter Wonderland" is a song written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and lyricist Richard Bernhard Smith. Due to its seasonal theme, it is often regarded as a Christmas song in the Northern Hemisphere. Since its original recording by Richard Himber, it has been covered by over 200 different artists.
The song's lyrics were about a couple's romance during the winter season. A later version of "Winter Wonderland" (which was printed in 1947) included a "new children's lyric" that transformed it "from a romantic winter interlude to a seasonal song about playing in the snow." The snowman mentioned in the song's bridge was changed from a minister to a circus clown, and the promises the couple made in the final verse were replaced with lyrics about frolicking. Singers like Johnny Mathis connected both versions of the song, giving "Winter Wonderland" an additional verse and an additional chorus.

My father once told me that this was a song that came out at the time he was “courting” my mother. He said that the Great Depression had been going for years and things seemed to be getting worse and worse. No one knew what the future would hold. That is the meaning of the line, “To face unafraid the plans that we’d made.” If you were in love, it was difficult to take that next big step in a relationship.
And few could have guessed that WWII also was just ahead.
Some social history connected to the song, i think our generation have been relatively lucky Bruce. Thank you for sharing this. Best wishes Jayne.

Dear Christine so glad to receive your comment, it make this project even more worth while. Thank you for your support. Jayne Anne xx
This brings back so many lovely memories Jayne - so thanks as always. Incidentally - Cannock Chase was a real winter wonderland this lovely frosty/sunny morning. Hope you and yours have enjoyed your time over Christmas/New Year. Keep safe xxx Hope 2021 will be kind to you.
Thank you Roy, I hope this year will bring you health and happiness. I must confess, I do miss the Chase terribly, there's nowhere quite like it in all its moods. But excessive change, destruction of the natural world and creeping urbanization sicken me to the core. Much love, take care xx

,, Leise rieselt der Schnee still und starr ruht der See Weihnachtlich glänzend der Wald freue dich's Christkind kommt bald."
,,Bald ist heilige Nacht, Chor der Engel erwacht, hör nur wie lieblich es schallt, freue dich Christkind kommt bald. "
,, In den Herzen wards warm Not und Kummer vergang, weihnachtlich glänzend der Wald freue dich Christkind kommt bald. "
