Delectable Winter Wonderland White Cheesecake Recipe
When I see the results from this White Cheesecake recipe, it makes me think of the song below. Although I don’t “love” snow, I know it is inevitable every year since we live in New York state. Some would say ‘why don’t you move?’ I say because my family is more important than the snow and cold we get each year and they are mostly here.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Sleighbells ring, Are you listening, In the lane, Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, We’re happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird, He sings a love song, As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say: Are you married? We’ll say: No man, But you can do the job When you’re in town
Later on, We’ll conspire, As we dream by the fire, To face unafraid, The plans that we’ve made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman And pretend that he’s a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows Ain’t it thrilling Though your nose gets a chilling
We’ll frolic and play The Eskimo way Walking in a winter wonderland…..“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.
