"my entry" -Rage
"Many sorts of songs in happy oldskool tracker format and style. Particularly the melody for P. J. Hannikainen's Joulupukki was slightly wrong, which was irritating." -yzi
"mildly funny and a mod so 2 stars instead of 1" -serpent
"better than song 7, but could probably have done without the voice clips" -Starchaser
"Too much talkings" -Nosferatu
"yeah... on topic at least" -prowler
"opium xmas every body" -arrakis
"a bit boring" -jansi
"this st-01 hoho sucks" -Buzzer
"Sounds a bit rushed, but otherwise solid entry. Not the best, but ok." -Lemonade
"very simplistic, and the voice sample is annoying" -mirrorbird
"Probably a rather hasty throw-in, but manages to capture some xmas feel anyway with those cassic samples. Let us give some Amiga-bonus." -franz_koopa
"Funny medley" -Shinobi
"sucks" -ViThor

"Not bad, but some of the chords don't sit well with me" -zoner
"Ok tune, sounds a bit sad.. meh" -Rage
"Violin and stuff. A bit of a mixed bag. Heavy and stays the same for too long. Not particularly Christmassy. In some parts the melody and backing instruments disagree on the harmony. The melody feels a bit random, and it's hard to grasp the big picture." -yzi
"nice to use violin sample but the song doesnt make much sense to me unfortunately" -serpent
"outtatune!" -Nosferatu
"a bit too off-key-melody for my taste" -prowler
"Xmas violin spirit bitta boring sorry" -arrakis
"this violin monotomy sucks too" -Buzzer
"Good try, but a bit too odd melodies at some places." -Lemonade
"feels slightly out of tune in parts" -mirrorbird
"At times harmony and melody goes to very unconventional directions reminding me of some classical music. Overally, production is not very polished, but creates a nice feel anyway and is a respectable effort to create something devout." -franz_koopa
"Sad tune, slightly chaotic melody" -Shinobi
"a bit better than 01" -ViThor

"It was painful to take some time away from my songs under work and to try to quickly make something to the compo, when I thought that my crap quota is already full... At the night before the deadline I decided to give up this effort but one hour before the deadline I changed my mind. Other titles I was considering included 'Christmas Day in Drugs', 'Amy Rose's Christmas Joint', 'Christmas Resilar Sexperience'" -franz_koopa

"Sibelius for chipmunks? And gabber hard-core techno something. Good? Bad? Jingle bells, even. Best? Worst? Not the best Christmas gabber I've heard. It had its moments and its potential, but somehow it couldn't get the best out of them." -yzi

"nice SIDobi! no xmas-feelings though so 3 stars" -serpent
"xD shobenhauer, i give 4 because its not very christmas like, the end gave me gooseskin and it sounds like there could be a second part, the song it self sounds like a intro for a longer Track." -silok
"Sounds like Shinobi? It's well done, but maybe I don't know the song it tries to be of/like and doesn't seem to fit. I found other songs more 'Christmasy', but it's still good otherwise." -Starchaser
"Almost 5 - this is the best of the lot" -Nosferatu
"4 stars, "SID always does it! Good tune, almost a 5 star :)" -prowler
"sounds like a shino/Silok/ stuffie dunno XMAS light version but so SIDish" -arrakis
"doesn't bring any x-mas vibes for me, but anyway nice and cool SID tune!" -Buzzer
"Beautiful song, however listening this doesn't bring christmas feeling to me." -Lemonade
"decent chippie, but doesn't sound like Christmas" -mirrorbird
"Does not go very far from its starting motif despite of some chord changes that follow later. Perhaps devout in some sense, but not sure if it's christmas devout. Maybe that Chimera-ostinato is not xmassy enough, the triangle wave might have been useful to summon Christmas. Three plus." -franz_koopa
"not a bad sid" -ViThor

Many sorts of songs in happy oldskool tracker format and style. Particularly the melody for P. J. Hannikainen's Joulupukki was slightly wrong, which was irritating.
02 - 2 stars
Violin and stuff. A bit of a mixed bag. Heavy and stays the same for too long. Not particularly Christmassy. In some parts the melody and backing instruments disagree on the harmony. The melody feels a bit random, and it's hard to grasp the big picture.
03 - 4 stars
FM/OPL stuff. Quite nice harmonies and leads. Christmas aspect? Maybe there's some.
04 - 3.5 stars
Happy. Remix ... but unfortunately not a familiar melody for me.

The original melody is awesome, but this rendition doesn't quite achieve the proper heights, and somehow fails to exploit the possibilities.
