Jim,

This sounds superb. You've captured that sound that is so often heard Christmas music. It's impressive. You've definitely go the knack for writing and presenting songs!

All the best,
Noel

Thanks, Noel, for your compliments & support...
I really appreciate it & I'm sure Russ Stanton does too.

So nice to hear an old fashioned Christmas song. Sweet!!!

Thanks, Donna...
I happy you enjoyed it.

I'm a Christmas music nut. It's very hard to write a good new Christmas song -- there's a lot of tradition and sentimentalism to live up to -- the responsibility of the weight of the ages bearing down upon you, and you've done it!

Thanks for the compliment.
