Stan - Great melody; A pleasant uptempo tune with lots of Neil Young style guitar. Mix is good, but a few notes: - Acoustic guitars sound kinda lossy, but I think it's the mp3 compression factor
- About 2:40, the bottom end drops out, like the kick just stops. Is this deliberate? Sorta sounds weak
- The line in the chorus that starts with "When Mary bore a King to set..." - You have a pause after "King" that I think would make the line flow better without. The last line of the chorus doesn't have such a pause. Try it without and see what you think.
- The vocal is still a bit thin and set back in the mix, like the last song. Beef up the low end and see if it gives the vocal a bit more pronounced in the overall mix.
These few quibbles aside, I think it's pretty good.

Stan:
Great song, I love Christmas songs, I played it to my baby (1 year now) and she reacted very well and my wife loved it.
Saludos,
G.Meillon

Mike, Thanks for the details. After listening again the vocals do seem thin in places, and I also noticed the 10 second drop that you mentioned at 2:40. You've encouraged me to take more time on this project and get a better mix ready for next year.
G.Meillon, Thank you for your words. I really appreciate you taking time to listen. I love Christmas song too, especially non-traditional ones. Stan
