Very creepy, the bells definitely do it. It remains creepy, but they add an *almost* flippant edge to it. The  skeletal beat is very appropriate.
The vocals sound great! Awesome work

The marching beat recalls the Little Drummer Boy for me and creates a nice reference back to classic Christmas music. Nice clin d'oeil  at traditions.
The  has a pure tone to it. that fits the overall feel of the music.
 
I would have liked a touch more clarity in the mixing of the lyrics 'cause my poor little ears are having a tough time picking up all the words, but the slightly out-of-focus treatment on them does result in part of the ominous nature of the piece.

Very clever using the drummer boy percussion. Wish the lyrics were up. Can almost see Henry drifting around the big castle. Not sinister just very haunting.

the melodies are awesome. your voice seems just perfect on any song you sing. the harmonies are right on. this does have an ominous feel to it and the vocal melody works it well. and yes, the percussion is quite appropriate. well done, all around.....

Ok ---this needs to be a movie! Like an Alice in Wonderland x-mas—-----Man, those bells are spellbinding like a Manson poem. (as in Charlie---not Marilyn) I don’t know what you two are doing but you’ve definitely have some creative mojo working between ya! * hair standing up on back of neck * another cool tune!

I listened to this yesterday on Rhthesinner's radio but I didn't know who did it. It definately has a Danny Elfman feel to it. This one sounds a lot different for you Dave. Great job. Lovely voice there CEG, as always.

It might be interesting to go carolling with THIS in hand 
Really a lovely treatment, though... the bells are truly sweet, and the vox are suitably melancholy and ironic as promised!
Wonderful

Right off, love those bells! CEG's vocals sound great w/perfect delivery for this song. I'm seeing a stage setting here...two ghostly figures playing the bells and that lonely snare just behind CEG, and farther in the background, a skeletal figure with a horn. This is great!

But do I have a red and green pumpkin on my head? That's what I keep seeing. With a fringe of bells around the neck.

I love these bells. THis is totally cool. Seems like a nightmare before christmas thing to me. Really great. I wish the vocals were up alittle more, just might be my headphones though. Very cool. Great stuff guys. Doesn't sound like christmas to me... more nightmaring. Good stuff. Actually this would scrooge it up pretty good. Too bad I missed this around in December.

Those bells are nice. Very nice, sounds like something I once tried to write. Nightmare Before Christmas anyone? Wonderful singing, btw. Those harmonies are eeire and haunting. You two work together Very Well. Very very well. Not really evil, but more... otherworldly. Nice work.
But I think the last couple of bell notes were out of tune...

Dave and KEG, this one is just wonderful! That glock's "dun dun dun dun...dun-dun dun dun" loop is fabulous. A little hip and a very creepy late night christmas broadcasting that has an entire undertone of satire. Definitely worthy of the stately frankenstein in an awesome hat and tripping environmentalist anime chick. Well done!
