Beautiful. Love the harmonies, especially ... the cello is also beautiful. You and your daughter have done a wonderful job with this one. The final section is so majestic and rich - well done to the both of you  Merry Christmas!

I'm not so much a fan of Christmas songs, but this one is really beautifully done. Love the vocals from you both.
Enjoyed the listen!

Lovely song and composition! Especially liked the vocal arrangement. You MIGHT back off on the vocal effects as Amber has a very fine voice that can stand out a bit more. Really enjoyed the tune! Thanks for sharing.

Clever hook into the song! Nice build, and lovely arrangement, but it feels a bit "distant". I agree that the FX are a bit overdone on Amber. Her vocals are great, as are the strings. But don't get my complaint give the wrong impression - this is a lovely song!

Another beautiful Christmas song, Dan (and Amber).
Beautifully sung (a bit too much "hollow" to the reverb).
The orchestration is nice.
I did not care for Sound of the opening acoustic.
It's phase-y-ness actually sounds similar to artifacts from an "extracted" track. It's swirl-i-ness (I'm making up words) runs into the vocals a bit
(these are opinions, of course).

Hi Dan and Amber,
A beautiful song permed with equal beauty. i do agree that a little less reverb on Amber's voice would be worth considering. She has such a gorgeous voice that speaks eloquently for itself, straight from her mouth. Just a hint of reverb would be more than adequate. The strings are simply delicious, as are the BGVs.
Beautifully conceived, beautifully sung, and beautifully presented.
You are two amazingly talented people!
Merry Christmas.
Alan

I'm not a fan of modern Christmas music, but love the old classics, and to me this reminds me fits right in with them. Really well done, Dan, Amber does a wonderful job. Agree with the comments about the reverb, but that is an easy fix

fj Floyd, Dave, etc. I remixed the track and killed most of the reverb on Amber and the 12 string...I think it's much better...it sounded "phasey" because the tracks were extracted but I found the original tracks and used them...thanks guys for your very constructive suggestions...Dan

We are quite tardy listening to this and there's little to add to all the accolades.
We enjoyed the write (clever twist on Mary had a little lamb), the great vocals and the arrangement.
All sounds fine on our monitors and that is an excellent string section!
