Very sweet
and christmassy melody, well played with a good choice of instruments. I liked how that awsome organ comes in to "wake you up" now and then.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds as if all or at least most of the instruments play the same melody? Although it IS a great one, it might win even further if there is some kind of counterpoint(?) and/or bass line to complement it. It's not easy to do that, I know, but you might consider for future development.

Possibly also hold that last note for a sec, ends a bit abrupt now, maybe?!

Still, thanks for a future holiday classic!

Fun
Much more cheerful that the average congregation sung version, almost moments of doo wop! Perhaps drop the 'voices' back once the organ takes the lead. Hope you get your housemate to participate.
