Hi, Misha. fun, entertaining tune, especially picturing you do all the stuff That tubing is still sitting in the back yard. I'm not quite sure how to dispose of it, because it's not going to fit into the garbage can.  Well mixed, unusual & clever production. Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing. Thanks! P.S. "any sorts of comments are welcome." -Get a kitty. I've got two. They love to go up in the attic, but they are a pain to get down, so we don't do it often. And I wouldn't bet on the against a rat. Mouse? Yes. Rat? Not so much. And we've had both up there. Replying to your post reminded me to finally put the electronic trap in the attic. One of the cats ran into the room on hearing the ladder go down, and he's not a happy camper, because we didn't let him go up there. We'll see if the zapper works. It's got a bunch of different color indicator lights - including "not lit" and "blinking". It's either fully charged or defective - I can't tell from the poorly-written manual.

Hi, Janne. Clever, warm and fun, from the title through the true story to the performance. Nice to hear a different, more down-to-earth Christmas song but still having the right spirit. The story would certainly work as a movie (even without Hallmark sugar), a future tradition alongside "Wonderful Life"  Very good work getting the spoken parts work rhythmically. The backing track is very pleasant. Happy New Year! Thanks! New Year's Eve was my daughter's birthday and my wedding anniversary. So of course, my wife came down sick and I'm on the way... and I've got what appears to be a burst blood vessel in my eye. Who says romance is dead? Thanks for listening and posting!

Hi, Bob. I liked how the spoken word verse alternated with the sung chorus or refrain. I was heavily inspired by the William Shatner album "Has Been" - Ben Folds did a brilliant job dealing by putting the non-singing (but brilliantly speaking) Shatner on verses, but singers on the chorus. I think it's a fantastic album. The cello/synth pad added a nice touch, too. Yeah, there's some great sounds in BiaB. Thanks for stopping to comment, I appreciate it!

Hi, Scott. Excellent song David. Amazing work you do with the vocals. Very cool lyric. Loved the backtrack as well. Well done. Thanks!

This is delightful. We could envision it all happening and it brought back memories of some funny but memorable Christmases past for us.
Janice loved that the tv was playing “It’s a Wonderful Life” as another reminder of what’s truly important.
ALL those many tracks sound great!
We’re happy for your Christmas Eve outcome and wish you and yours a happy new year!
J&B

When I saw your lyrics, I wondered "How is that going to be sung?!?. The spoken word was amazingly done by the synth, and I can't imagine the saong be done any other way. A good dose of life. Great backing track.

Hi, Scott. When I saw your lyrics, I wondered "How is that going to be sung?!?. The spoken word was amazingly done by the synth, and I can't imagine the song be done any other way. It may come as a shock, but that's actually my voice. I guess it says something when we aren't sure what's synthetic and what's real. Thanks for the nice words - I appreciate you taking the time to listen and post.

Hi David.
It's January 8th for me right now, so I think it's fair to say that I'm very late (or very, very early) in getting to this Christmas song. I'm so glad I didn't miss it. What a fantastic creation! The spoken word works really well, and your voice suits the presentation perfectly! The story is great and they way you've put it together is excellent. And the icing on this quite marvellous cake is that in every way, the arrangement and the production are outstanding.
I really enjoyed listening!
--Noel

I was going to let this slip down in the comments, but since Brad bumped it, I'll take the opportunity to say thanks! Mmmm. Cake! Is it too soon to start making a King cake for Mardi Gras?
