Hi, David. I get the feeling there's some sort of subtext to this song, but I can't quite figure it out...  And playing "Christmas croquet" is a real thing, right?  Fun song! The next time someone asks me to sing "with a bit more upper crust" in my voice, I'll know what they're talking about.

Sir David,
Excellent use of BIAB - to capture that magical Bing-era holiday sound (not Chandler Bing).
I do hope you were wearing a white tux with top hat and dancing cane.
Great use of the horns and BIAB vocals. Oliver did you proud.
Excellent.
Happy Everything.

David, you really nailed the "Bing-era big band Christmas genre". This must have been a hard to do mix with all that is going on, however you nailed it! Super vocal also. loved it PS - it is hard to play croquet in the snow here! But I've never been that drunk 
I went line dancing last night. Well it was a roadside sobriety test, same thing.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

WOW!! This whole piece is incredible, David. First of all, just writing a Christmas classic like this is daunting enough, but putting it all together so well is unimaginable. Man, there is so much going on in the mix, and yet each track shines through. This song is even better on the 2nd spin, and that's what Christmas songs are supposed to be.

Subtext or not  this is a trip back for us. My parents were big band folks and I got exposed to it in the 50's. And Janice is a big fan of film from the Bing era. All meaning it, as said current vernacular, resonated. As others have said the band is outstanding, Excellent use of the horns. The write and arrangement are perfecto for the vibe! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Man that's hot. I enjoyed the whole thing.

Good stuff there Mr. Dave. I liked the horns and the trip back in time. This made it feel like Christmas even with the eighty-degree weather here.
Thanks for a pleasant stroll down memory lane.

Thanks Bob. I am a member of SongTradr. I know of Taxi, but stopped messing with them from back in the day of their 5 dollar a pop mail in submissions where you never heard a peep. Let me know if you see any listings anywhere! Thanks!!

Hey David ...
Another Christmas Classic in waiting? Could be! Love the big band style. I grew up listening to quite a bit of it. Ya don't think I'm that old? I can actually remember when Harry Truman was president! And nope, no arthritis, back pain, I can still run (not do the old man shuffle) and run 2 miles under 21 minutes! I've been so nicely blessed!
This was such a treat to hear. Still smiling as I type.
Best to you.
Alan
