"...later on, we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire. Face unafraid, plans we have made: walking in a winter wonderland."

| That song isn't very cheery. What exactly is the speaker "conspiring" to do? What plans does he have to "face unafraid"? Is it like the Wonderland murders? Are they going to kill Santa or something? | |

| Maybe "conspire" rhymes with "fire." | |

| Maybe it should be listened to as a companion piece to "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." So Santa is a ruthless Orwellian character, monitoring us even in our sleep. The speaker's a freedom fighter. | |

| Either way the subtext is overwhelming, right? | |
