I think you have done a lot of good stuff here. I like the 2 bar accompaniment pick up at the beginning, the main melody with nice pizzicato accompaniment, that wind tutti chord in b.10 and later b.18 to end the piece, using of horns to soothe the vioin theme in b.11, and the nice flute countermelody in b.15. 

Maybe the only less agreed thing for me is the use of bassoon. In the whole piece where the bassoon appears, it is playing its high register which will be more stressed in timbre and rather unmatch with the relaxed feeling of the piece. If you really want to have those notes with a similiar timbre, you can use a cor anglais which is also a double reed instrument.

Second thing of course is that you can extend the piece haha.

P.S. I definitely think this piece can be put into our Christmas Event (although the deadline is January the 1st, 2026 haha!)

Thx for sharing!
