Leizer - thanks for the kind words - I like to live dangerously with my sleigh bells :)

Thanks Danny - the piano is Alicia's Keys in Kontakt (which I love) with a ton of high pass filter.
Maybe I did squeeze a bit hard but I was trying to make room for the sleigh bells. Love me some sleigh bells :)

Nice.  Great performances.  Solid mix.  Any crits are subjective so take with a grain of salt. 
After noticing what a nice voice she has, I thought she sounded really full in the lower tones of her voice.  At the same time I noticed the piano sounding a little small.  Sounds like you took the piano and high-passed it (for the sake of the bass), carved some low-mids (for her vocal), and low passed it too (I dunno... for the bells?).
It all works well here in context.  I might try shelving off a little low from her vocal a couple db & give it back to the piano, and personally I'd ease up on the low pass filter a bit as well.  I love the high-fi sound of a piano, the bells are a nice accent but not mission critical part of the mix imho. 
 
Merry Christmas & nice Daryl!

Daryl,
 
Very well done instrumentation and mix, and, the current Mrs. Daryl has a lovely voice.   Sounds great, you have to put out a Christmas CD.
 
Regards

Nice one. She does have a good voice. The next Mrs. Daryl1968 will probably be tone deaf, so you might want to keep this one!
