Really nice song! I’ll bet that all the references are actually true from your memories!
I liked the easy, simple arrangement, and your gentle, smooth vocal marries up to it just right and gives the seasonal feeling perfectly.
Great Christmas contribution!

A cool jazzy trip through your memories. Your vocals and relaxing arrangement have a nice fireside warmth.
A very enjoyable and refreshingly personal Christmas song!

Greg,
Just one stunning song after another.
A beautiful write. Like a Norman Rockwell painting put to music. Classic.
I could see (hear) any number of top crooners cutting this. And none would do it better than the writer himself...
The perfect BAND. Super vocal. Excellent mix.
I become a bigger fan with each song...

Really great song... I listened to it last evening and again tonight (several times)...
Good work on this one, but I've got a question...
What is that cool sounding chord following C on the line "the radio played Silver Bells"?
PS I forgot to mention I also enjoyed the other 2 songs you linked...
Writing Christmas songs can be a lot of fun!

As soon as this started I pictured myself in a lounge listening to a fantastic 4 piece combo! You really captured that feel!
This should be played on all jazz radio stations during Christmas time!
An outstanding job on a new Christmas classic.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

What an outstanding song and performance! I am almost lost for words. You made me have the same feeling as the first time (many decades ago) I heard "What a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong.
You have such a warm and tender voice that almost could cause me and the country of Denmark to melt down in pure pleasure from listening...
You have an instant Christmas-hit there!
I feel privileged to be one of the people that you shared it with!
Thank you!
Will

fj Greg, Yeah, what Floyd said! His comparison of this song to a Norman Rockwell visual is perfect. Stunningly beautiful and so traditional Christmas. You've out-crooned the best of the crooners. You are a jukebox of never-ending classic songs. WOW! Alan

You nailed it - the smokey vibe, the easy-going vocal, picture-painting lyrics... it's all there except for a sax on the fade of the song. Sounds great!

Channeling your crooner side you are! We typically play jazzy Christmas tunes this time of year and, man, this just fits right in.
Instant classic and extremely well performed and produced!!
And the imagery is lovely.

Greg
This has been said many times,but an old school crooning pro you definitely are, but to be able to write in that style Sinatra, Dean Martin etc.
That's something else, and you got it !!.
really brilliant xmas song.
Thanks
p.s. Did you write this one or is it a cover version you are doing ?.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
