I like it! If its too "adult" or "dark" for the Library, get this one to Dr. Demento right away

Thanks, will do!

Anybody else??

Hey Daniel, now that's a fun song. IMHO I think your break "We know the morning soon will come..." works as a better chorus, maybe repeat the last line and use the chorus "Christmas, let's all shout Christmas..." as the extro(?) at the end of the song. Was a big Pistols fan back in the day and I think Punk songs normally follow a simple verse/chorus/verse/chorus structure. I like the music alot (especially the bells in the intro, they would work as a simple solo section after a chorus) and think overall the song works. Seeing as it's the 27th I'll wish you good luck with the sub... Geo
