Apparently it was extremely well-received and had a further presentation on 18 February at a music students "Tea and Social" event. Holst used a number of well-known carols in this "fantasy". Throughout the piece, the composer makes use of "Good Christian Men Rejoice", "God rest you merry gentlemen", "The First Nowell" and a traditional Breton melody used to set the words "Come ye lofty come ye lonely". According to contemporary reviewers, Holst's "Christmas Day" is an extremely attractive fantasia of mostly well known carols, harmonized distinctively but still pleasingly.
