Over the years I've written several Christmas songs...this is by far my favorite...mostly because I got to sing it with my daughter Amber...I think I posted it a few years back...but it's Christmas and you're supposed to drag the songs out at least once a year...so if you do...thanks for listening (again for some of you) and a very Merry Christmas to all!!

My smile cannot get wider than when I hear you and Amber, Dan. Hope your Christmas is a special one. Hugs to M'Len, too.
What a wonderful song, and such a special production. Sensational vocals rising high in passionate praise. Chills are not optional; they are as involuntary as the smile, although about that I was wrong --it does get wider. Can't get enough of this, my friend.

Merry Christmas, Dan!
Singing with your daughter on a Christmas song you wrote and produced...priceless! I have been blessed to have my youngest son join my band on a gig or two each year and it is very a special feeling to be sure!
Regarding the song: It is for sure worth posting this each Advent and Christmas season. Thank you for accepting God's Grace to create this beautifully written and sung anthem to Christ.
Na zdrowie!

Wow, Dan. This is a special song and a marvelous performance. Ya'll sound GREAT! You've really arranged and mixed those BiaB instruments extraordinarily well. Don't think I've ever heard a lusher arrangement. The strings were a nice add. All the expected modulations work really well. Nothing more to add, except...MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hi Dan,
You and Amber have created an amazing work.
This is "story telling in a song" at its finest.
The write, the arrangement, your performances and the production really shine brightly.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening.
You and your daughter are a very talented team.

I was like Marty and he said it much better than I could "My smile cannot get wider than when I hear you and Amber, Dan. Hope your Christmas is a special one. Hugs to M'Len, too. "
As usual another masterpiece from Dan, but this time some help Amber. You harmonies so well together as you both have outstanding voices.
A fantastic song with an outstanding message.
God bless you and your families.

Hi, Dan. Sounds lovely. The cello in the beginning is awesome, and when your voices join in harmony, it's just magical.  Of course, the rest of the song elements are up to your usual high standards. Ha! And the multiple key changes! I don't want to forget to mention that!

Amber & Dan,
Some things are so beautiful they are beyond words to adequately describe them. This is one of those things.
A wonderful lyric brought to life via your voices - the backing tracks offering the perfect bed. And I love key modulations as, in my opinion, they breathe a new energy into a song.
Gorgeous in every way.
Merry Christmas.

What an angelic voice Amber has and we can imagine just how joyous you feel singing with her and then again listening to the song afterwards.
It’s a beautiful song, mix and overall production.
Merry Christmas!
