Its been several months since I've posted a song... Due to some medical issues... But the good Lord is getting me back on track... And I've been busy catching up on all of the creative songwriters... Who make this forum so great!
It may be a bit early but I'd like to share a Christmas song with all of you... I loooove writing Christmas songs. I don't know if I will have time to write one this year... So I thought I would share one from the past the good Lord gave me.
**************** Technical Info: I can't find the details... I made a cursory check... And I'm certain the style & mgu file is on a HD, CD, or USB drive around here... But I haven't found the information... Since I generally make my on styles... I imagine I named the style something like Style???.sty... And dropped it in the same folder with the other files... So please forgive for the lack of technical information.
****************
Anyway I hope you enjoy this early Christmas creation... Even though its got some warts... And thanks for letting me be a part of your forum!
The house is decorated with mistletoe and lights The children are dreaming Christmas dreams Every one is waiting anticipating They're wondering what Santa brings
Christmas today seems to be one big commercial And Santa is a super star no doubt But when Jesus was born they called it Christmas morning He's what Christmas is about
Middle 4 Bars
A dying tree is standing in glitter and in gold The presents are piled beneath its leaves Santa Claus is coming bringing more gifts for Good girls and boys Christmas Eve

Jim, I agree your vocal shines on this charming, sincere Christmas song. Good melody and mix as well- certainly not too early to feel some seasonal warmth!
This is a wonderful Christmas song. Nicely written. Nice sentiment.
Warts? I certainly didn't see/hear any!!
Your vocal on this is awesome.
The underlying musical bed works perfectly. A good mix, too.
Really enjoyed this. Glad you are posting again. Merry Christmas!!

Thanks Floyd for your generous comments... I happy you enjoyed it!

a good approach to the subject - over here they started sealing chocolate Santas already in late September...
Like always a solid composition, very, very well-sung.
All the best,

Thanks Stefan... I always look forward to your wonderful comments... Over here they seem to do they same thing... They're even been advertising "Black Friday" deals long before "Black Friday" !

Wow, this has to be your best vocal yet! Such great tone. Sitting perfectly in the mix too.
This is a very well written Christmas song, very much enjoyed it.
Thanks Dave... I always look forward to your kind comments & support... And I'm delighted you like the song & vocal!

Thanks Robert... I'm grateful for your comments & support... And for the listen!
Jim, like Floyd I sure didn't notice any of the "warts" you mentioned! I think you did an excellent job on this....especially the vocal! It's a great Christmas song! Hope you are doing well! Thanks Torrey
What to say? everything is said about your very nice Christmas song. Especially about the vocals. They are very good and strong and to me also a bit lower. Did the doctors did all that to you as well? (just a nasty joke). And also a touch of social criticism in it! Liked it that you put things straight about Christmas...
In your song there was a very nice progression, that gives the song some extra 'dimension'(can't find another word to describe this in English).
So, glad you're back! Not alone for your comments on the songs of others, but for making your music again. Christmas 2019 can't be bad now
This is a really, really beautiful song. Love your vocals - you sound better than ever! I hope your medical issues are now in the past - thank you so much for sharing this genuinely beautiful song. It's a deceptively understated production, I feel - it seems so simple and yet it communicates so well. Well done - and Happy Christmas to you when the day comes!
Christmas songs already - I'm not complaining I found this one delightfully catchy, and it definitely got me in the spirit early. In particular, I thought your singing was outstanding here.
Jim, Nice country holiday feel to this . . . inviting, warm and very strong vocal. Really nice work on this! All my best, Deej
Thanks Deej... I always appreciate your comments & support!

Thanks Torrey... You can hear those warts with headphones ... A bit of distortion... But I'm glad you liked the song... And I appreciate your well-wishes for health!

Thanks Scott... That's really a wonderful compliment... However... With all the talented songwriters here... If we all had the "right agent"... We would be creating many new "standards" !

Thanks James... For your continuing comments & support... Medically... I'm not out of the Ardennes quite yet... But at least I've escaped the artillery shelling... Now if I only stay away from Nurse Pokem... She's making me feel like a pin cushion !
