Birthing the Blog (4 of 4): WINTER WONDERLAND

To celebrate the rebirth of my personal blog as a study of the Gothic, I am reposting four entries from years past.  They are a little musty and damp, but they’ll give a sense of what this blog is going to sound like in the weeks and months to come.

This fourth installment (from 2008) is a succinct and persuasive analysis an old Christmas carol.

Let it be acknowledged that the popular holiday song Walkin’ in a Winter Wonderland is about a pair of erstwhile adolescents acting out a reckless plot to elope from under the oppressive eyes of their unaccepting families and despite the malicious cruelty of their peers.

It’s all in the lyrics.

It requires no explanation.
