Here's a blast from the past. This song was originally written for a young child relative of mine who didn't have a house with a chimney for Santa to come down - quite the conundrum for a precocious four year old at the time - and after reading lots of letters to Santa from other little kids. It's a children's song. Hopefully you big kids will like it too. Bob Dean and I put it on our November Moon EP several years ago.

It's all real tracks. Sorry I don't remember which ones now.
Press the little youtube button at the bottom if you'd rather watch on YT or the little box bottom right if you'd rather watch full screen.

Hope you enjoy it and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Josie and Bob,

You did a great job on this fun Christmas song.
I really loved all the vocal layers and harmonies.

The video was clever too; how did you do that?

Very enjoyable,
Jez

Thank you very much Jez! The harmonies were lots of fun to do.

Bob did the main video with iMovie and I did the opening and closing with PowerDirector.

Josie and Bob,

This definitely brings a smile to the face. Inventive writing and first class presentation from start to finish. The harmony and vocal interplay is terrific. Then there's the video... very cool!

I'm glad you pulled this one back up, Josie.

All the best,
Noel
