I'm not that much into Christmas songs, I must admit, but I must agree with Floyd: I'd really like to hear more of that style !

What an intro - I simply wouldn't trust my ears and had to make sure I had not accidentally clicked another song - BRILLIANT !

The lyrics are amazing - yes, funny at first sight, even very funny. But I'm more than sure that this is a bitter parabel on incidents that sadly enough happen to be real. And if that is so, I think there's far mor Christian expressiveness in your lines than in most of those Christmas tunes that are tootling in the malls this time of the year.

And BTW, it is exactly the way I love serious issues to be approached - it's 'Hats off' simply for those lyrics.

Your Vocal is just perfect for that song, the arrangement si stunning !

Jim, old cowboy that I thought you were: If I may utter a request: Please write and perform more, many more songs of that genre - you're simply too good in that to deny us the fruits of that talent.

You see: I'm stunned, excited and mostz impressed by this one.

Thanks for posting that gem. Oh yes: I really enjoud that really corresponding vide - nice job on this one, too!

Take care,
Stefan

PS: Of course I couldn't help remembering one of my favorite Arlo Guthrie tunes which was very funny, too, but also transported a cause:

The Pause of Mr Claus

Thanks Stefan...
All of your wonderful comments tend to make me blush smile ...
And your insights about the reality behind the story is quite right on...
I certainly am thankful a songwriter with your talents can appreciate my endeavors.

Jim
