Best Christmas song I've heard ever. I love it. Made me smile from the intro because I love Western Swing. I have to listen again, and again!!

"Grandpa Got Run Over By a Beer Truck" move over. I have a better comedy Christmas song now.
Tommy this is absolute fantastic. Everything is profession.
Loved it.
The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

Tom...what a trip! I love Texas swing and this reminds of Beaumont...great production and a fun time to listen to...super Christmas song! I'm glad you enjoyed it. My wife's from Texas and I lived in Illinois a long time ago, Tom Tommy,
Fun, rockin’ Christmas tune . . . nix mix, too! Cool, holiday vibe—really love that piano in the mix, and a great guitar solo. Wonderful!
Deej Thanks for stopping by D, Tom

Oh, man, this is brilliant, Tom. What a great band. The lyrics are just perfect and the changes are superb and ideal for a Christmas song. A lot of tension building in and the release is such a treat. You're right, that law firm really can jam. The lyrics are all terrific, but this is my favorite line: "Christmas makes me homesick even though I’m home." Sounds like a Yogism. Thanks Marty. Ya gotta love Yogi! Merry Christmas,Tom

You definitely put the Merry in Christmas on this song, Tom! Janice danced around the kitchen listening to this one several times yesterday.  “Grandma bought some batteries and attached them to a note Toys are not included and that is all she wrote” The above cracked us up. Your song beats Keen’s “Christmas with the Family” as our new favorite. You’ve got that Western Swing groove down perfectly and we do love it. FUN! Merry Christmas to you and Benji! J&B
