Pennsylvania lyricist Richard Smith was inspired by winter scenes in his hometown of Honesdale, Wayne County, in 1934, when he wrote the lyrics to the song “Winter Wonderland,” which has become a Christmas classic recorded again and again by everyone from Perry Como to Barry Manilow to The Eurythmics. Basically, almost anyone who has ever recorded a Christmas album has done “Winter Wonderland.”
Smith wrote the words while convalescing in a tuberculosis sanatorium outside Scranton and was inspired by the winter scenes he observed out his window. He died of the disease on his 34th birthday, Sept. 29, 1935.
