thanks Donn it's great! my Christmas feature :) best wishes this holiday season ☮

[YandaBear]

Loved the tune. But I'm not quite clear. Did you get the words from somewhere else, or did you write them yourself?

Happy Christmas from London.

Thanks Chris. This is the original poem first published anonymously in 1823. It is generally attributed to Clement Clarke Moore and to a lesser extent Henry Livingston Jr. "Donn's Version" strictly applies to delivery.

Happy New Year!
