Ho Ho Ho!
I wrote this song and recorded it for last Christmas! Don't remember what real tracks I used (I have a new laptop and have to reinstall...and ya'll know how long THAT takes), I know I added some midi stuff in as well.

Enjoy the jib-jab video:

CHRISTMAS DREAMS
What's the matter with the world today?
Can I ask for more on Christmas day?
Give me a reason
Make me a-pleasin'
Let's go outside to play

Snowflakes falling on the mountain side
Look at all the smiles on every child
Hop on the sled
Come on let's take a ride

Wow look at all the presents
Wow look at all the toys
Our friends and family gather
And boy they give us joy

Tonight when I fall asleep
Praying my soul to keep
Wishes fill up my head
Seeing the man in red

Santa Claus Can you hear me?
Yes, I'm talking to you
Make my Christmas Dreams come true!

Really nice Michael!! Very much captures the Christmas cheer. I love Christmas time, and I really want to write a X-mas song but haven't pulled it off yet. Great job! Take care. Greg

Well, that's certainly created some Christmas Spirit.

This a a great write, fun to listen to.

An excellent vocal production as well, nicely and meticulously put together. Great write, for sure.

Hello, Michael

A lot of fun.
And an excellent vocal.
As Greg said, very much captures the Christmas cheer.
The Christmas season is coming soon in japan too.
Japanese people also love the christmas time.
And I have been loving American christmas songs very much from my childhood.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best Regards.

Hi Michael,

The best Christmas song we've heard in years!
Great video.
We're very curious what animation program you used for the video (we do a lot of video creation ourselves).

Very good! Enjoyed the "group" vocals and general uplifting Joyeux Noël feel.

Also a nice idea to make a Jib Jab video for the song (I was once a member but didn't know they were still going).

Hey There!
It was simply jib-jab videos I created and placed my friend's and family heads on! Easy to use internet site. So I had to no animation at all :-) Just editing!

Ok, I just purchased BIAB 2020 and need to get busy writing new song! But in the meantime, I KNOW you all want to hear Christmas Dreams again! :-) Happy Holidays everyone.

That was an awesome listen and the video was super fun to watch.
Great music production.
The drums were nice and loud and clear but did not get in the way.
The vocals are very good and easy on the ears.
Thanks for sharing.
