Hi Mike.

Very tasteful music that is really pleasant to listen to.
I love what you've done.
It's got that hint of 'holiday season' threaded throughout and really fits its title.
This is a lovely composition and charming arrangement.

Happy Christmas!
--Noel

Mike, a perfect jazz Christmas song.
You are a master of picking the perfect backing tracks and mixing them to perfection.
Outstanding work.

Well done as always -- great session guys.
I would fit right in a jazz club on a December evening.

Nice!

Gotta have bells in a Christmas tune. Very cool fireside music, Mike. Clarinet was a prefect idea. Man, I'm glad you're back, but sad for your PC perdicament. I've been there. After a bit the beat-bell (I'll call it) seemed to detract rather than add. But it's cool nod to Mal playing the anvil on Maxwell's hammer.


Enjoy whatever happens!
