Winter Wonderland
Winter Wonderland was written by Felix Bernard and Dick Smith in 1934, but not recorded until 1946 - on RCA's Musical Smart Set "Perry Como Sings Merry Christmas Music".
The first take in the studio was the one released. For the first three years Winter Wonderland was only available at 78 RPM, eventually being released on a 45 and then, in 1957, on a 33 RPM format record.
Winter Wonderland was almost immediately identified with Christmas, when in fact there's no mention of Christmas in the lyric at all - it's a song about falling in love in the winter.
