Christmas in JUNE , Seph????...It was 92 degrees today and VERY humid in the U.S. where I am . We're already having a heat wave here and WINTER WONDERLAND Didn't exactly cool things off ....Well, during the duration of the song it did feel slightly cooler , maybe 85. degrees , but when the song ended it went right back to 92....I shouldn't be too surprised ...They always said that Elvis was the king of COOL, too. Lol !
*SEPH* - (NEXSTAR) - “We’ll pretend that he is Parson Brown” is likely a lyric you have sung once or twice in your life. But really, who is Parson Brown?
If you aren’t familiar, the above lyric is a line from the holiday classic “Winter Wonderland.” The song was written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and Richard Bernhard Smith, and originally sung by Richard Himber.
Nearly nine decades later, many wonder the same question each year - who is Parson Brown?
To understand, it is important to note that while the song is largely popular during Christmas time, it never actually mentions Christmas. Instead, the song is about marriage and romance during winter. The couple in the song builds a snowman in a meadow and pretends it is Parson Brown, who asks if they are married. The couple says they are not, but Parson Brown can wed them when he is in town.
Parson is actually another word for a clergyman, especially a Protestant pastor, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. The word has gone largely unused since around 1980 but has been on a decline since 1800.
Yay a double 💣💣 absolutely love this song - so Christmasy and yet Elvis still manages to put his spin on it - just gorgeous ☃🎄🎅
This is a lot of fun. Thanks for the happy reaction.
Switching it up here Seph: Song Info first: "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. Its lyrics are about a couple's romance during the winter season.
Smith, a native of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, was reportedly inspired to write the lyrics after seeing Honesdale's Central Park covered in snow. He wrote the lyrics while being treated for tuberculosis in the West Mountain Sanitarium in Scranton.
The song was originally recorded in 1934 for RCA Victor. At the end of a different recording session by Himber and his Hotel Ritz-Carlton Orchestra, with extra time to spare, RCA Victor suggested arranging and recording "Winter Wonderland" using some additional members of its own orchestra, which included Artie Shaw and other established New York City studio musicians.
Guy Lombardo’s version that same year would go on to be one of the biggest hits of 1934.[citation needed]
In Mathis' version, heard on his 1958 LP Merry Christmas, the introduction is sung between the first and the second refrain.
In 1960, Ella Fitzgerald recorded a jazz arrangement of the song for her Verve release, Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas.
The song was included on the 1994 compilation album If Every Day Was Like Christmas by Elvis Presley.
In 1999, Ringo Starr recorded a version of Winter Wonderland on Mercury Records release, I Wanna Be Santa Claus.
In 2023, Chlöe covered the song for Amazon Music as part of their Amazon Original Music series. The cover peaked at number 87 on Billboard Hot 100, making her version of the song the first to enter the chart.
In 2023, Laufey covered the song for Spotify as part of their Spotify Singles Holiday series. The cover became the highest-charting version of the song in Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
So my thoughts on your question: Who is Parson Brown?
The small town Parson who- among other things- marries couples who wish to be wed.
Do keep in mind this song was written in 1934. Even though people did at times have schmeggles outside of wedlock back then the risk of pregnancy was very real for women in those times so the lot of them were not all the het up to get down.
Kissing, necking, and what they called "heavy petting" was fine if both parties had consented.
Anything beyond that... It was understood that it was in the best interest particularly of the lady in question to wait until marriage.
I have it on good authority that both of my grandmothers had.
Example of a real life situation: Clark Gable and Loretta Young got snowed in during filming on set and Ol' Clark was not only seen braving the snow and cold trekking from his trailer to Miss Young's trailer but that also it was noted that during Ol' Clark's visits Miss Young's trailer was seen "rocking from side to side" and that it was highly doubtful the rocking to and fro was from the winds.
A few months later, Miss Young's absence from the social Hollywood scene was duly noted.
She made a sudden re- appearance a few months later with a baby girl in arms that she and the movie studio execs all swore up and down was adopted.
But as the girl grew it became noticeable that her ears stuck out. Ears that looked suspiciously similar to Ol' Clark's ears (which also stuck out noticeably).
The Hollywood Gossip Mill ran with the suspicion that Loretta Young's daughter was in fact Clark Gable's daughter which meant * gasp * the child was born out of wedlock 😱
Years and years later the girl grew into a woman and gave an interview where she told a story of the day she met the man that everyone suspected was her biological father.
She was a young teen by that time and she had just come home from school when she was called into the parlor by her mother.
There she saw Clark Gable, the esteemed actor himself, and the man that maybe, purportedly was her biological father.
She was introduced to him and sat down after which time he asked her how she was doing, did she like school, what was her favorite subjects, etc and so forth.
She said he was very nice, a real nice gentleman. She also said that was the first and last time she ever spoke to him.
The above is researchable on the interwebs.
So yes. People did have schmeggles and yes babies were born out of wedlock in those days.
It just was not talked about.
Here in the U.S. we had "homes" for teen girls and young women that "found themselves in the family way' and most of the time- particularly in the case of the teen girls- they were pressured into signing their babies over to adoption services, waiving all parental legal rights.
My apologies for putting a damper on a happy Holiday song Seph 🙏

YAY 🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃
YOU'RE THE BEST SEPH 💎👌
THANK YOU 🌹💐
TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
Happy jolly Christmas song with that Elvis ending as a top of the cake.👌
Seph, there is an alternate take called : "Walken round in women's underwear." ;-)
You're so funny! I love his Bluesy Christmas 🎄.
A parson is a minister; a preacher who is able to officiate weddings. You could have gleaned that from the context.
OMG Seph, you and I are just not vibrating on the same frequency when it comes to ranking these Christmas songs. The ones that you are ranking higher I would have ranked lower and the ones you have ranked lower I would have ranked higher. Sometimes I just don't know about you guys across the pond🙂
Happy song, happy Seph. 😀😀 You're surprised he sings it better? Really? Nah! You're not really surprised are you? You might understand "parson" better if the word used instead was "vicar." I think the British are more familiar with vicar, right?
That's a good way to explain parson. I think the British English vs American English comes up more in the songs that tell a story. It was a coy way to suggest marriage was on his mind.
Adequate but well down the list on this album, whereas the version with the Royal Philharmonic issued in 2017 is top class.
Have to disagree, bought the cd with the philharmonic orchestra, one listen and it went in the bin.you don't mess with perfection.
Okay now this is a Christmas song! Still not my favorite . . . yet.
I think a Parson is kinda like a priest? Someone who is legally able to marry people.
