Hello. :3
Modding via M4M with JauiPlaY.
I'll post in your queue after I post this.

Please rename the bg image to something that isn't just a bunch of numbers.
Isn't this a remix of the song by "Wham"?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uk_Fu8_UaQMaybe add "Wham" to tags.
Maybe add "Christmas" to tags?
That spinner makes me dizzy.

00:00:877 (1,2) - This rhythm is not working... When I played this I didn't know how to hit these notes. We should try and follow the vocals as best as we can here. I suggest this:
Extend the 1 and shorten the 2 like so. It fits better.
01:18:925 (1,2) - ^
00:16:242 - You should add a circle here next to the 00:16:486 (1) just like you did at 00:12:584 (1,2). It will make syncopation better.
00:23:803 - Consider adding a circle leading to the 00:24:291 (1)? Feels nice with the bass rhythms.
00:52:584 (2,3) - I don't think you should have the sliders overlapping like this in an easy difficulty. You should just move the 00:53:559 (3) so that it blankets the 2 like everywhere else in the beatmap. It will look much neater for a new player.
01:03:316 - Consider silencing this slider end?
01:07:218 (3) - NC
01:09:169 (1) - Remove NC
01:11:120 (3) - NC
01:13:559 (1) - Remove NC
This just makes more sense lyrically. At 01:07:218 (3) there is a new vocal idea starting. 01:09:169 (1) is part of that same idea still so it's strange for it to be a NC. 01:11:120 (3) we have a new vocal verse. 01:13:559 (1) is that same verse.
01:14:535 - This section is sort of strange. I feel like we should be starting the repeating slider at 01:15:267 when those clashes hit. And we could have a NC at 01:15:267. Try this rhythm here:
01:13:559 (4) to 01:18:437 (4)
I think it feels nicer and it leads us into the next verse.
01:18:925 - Rhythm bad again. Do this:
01:18:925 (1) to 01:22:340 (4)
01:34:535 (1) - You should extend this so that it ends at 01:35:998 for better syncopation. It feels really strange that 1 one ends on a red tick and the 2 is one and a half beats later. And it should be blanketing 01:36:486 (2).

Maybe name it JauiPlaY?
00:21:730 (3) - Why is this starting on the blue tick? That's bad polarity and it feels awful. Just move it to 00:21:608 and make it end at 00:22:096.
00:31:120 (2) - This slider is ok but it's just not following anything in the music and feels awkward to play. I think you shorten it to end at 00:31:608 and add a circle at 00:31:852. That would fit better.
00:47:950 (2,3) - Isn't this unrankable? I thought stacking a circle on a slider track was for insane only.
01:30:633 (1,2,3) - This is confusing IMO. You're following the hits in the background with the 1 and 2, and then the 3 switches back to the vocals suddenly. It's better to stay consistent here. Delete the 3 and add another 1/2 beat slider at 01:32:096 leading into the 01:32:584 (1).
01:36:486 (2) - Does this slider have to curve like this? The repeat arrow is pointed away from the origin.
It just makes it difficult to tell how long the slider will last.
01:39:779 (3) - On the blue tick again. :O Please don't do this. Either extend the slider like before or delete it and put a circle/slider at 01:39:901 leading into the 01:40:389 (1). It fits and is good polarity and will make your beatmap very fluid to play.
01:41:730 (3) - ^
01:49:169 (3) - I think you should shorten this to end at 01:49:657 and then add a circle at 01:49:901 and at 01:50:145 and move the spinner to 01:50:389. It feels nice to kick start the stream with a circle on that accent at 01:50:145. And Pokie does it.

The offset is different in this difficulty that the others, I don't know if that matters to you.
00:31:619 (3,1,2,3) - I don't think you should overlap like this. Just move these notes somewhere else.
00:31:619 (3) - I think you should replace the 3 with two circles. It's easier to read and play that way. The small sliders work best in groups of two or four, even numbers. When we just have three here and the rest of the stream in single circles it's really confusing.
00:55:522 (2) - Whistle on end is noisy to me.
01:05:156 - This green line isn't changing anything. Please check to make sure they all have a purpose.
01:21:375 (3,4) - Rhythm is weird here. Please switch the spots of the 3 and the 4. That is, extend the 3 to end at 01:21:741 -, move the 4 to 01:21:863 -, and shorten the 4 to end at 01:22:107. It fits much better.
01:21:375 (3) to 01:22:351 (5)
01:37:229 (3,4) - Here you're using a different pattern than you did at 01:21:375 (3,4). Why? That played great. I suggest using the same pattern here:
01:36:497 (1) to 01:37:961 (4)
Anyways. I think that's all. Great maps.
I'll leave star <3.
