It could be Munster Buttermilk, the Denis Murphy jig off Star Above the Garter which I think is in the database in a different key and different setting, making it weird to find : \
It's been recorded in D in Newfoundland a couple of times recently, under the name "Frank Stamp's". As near as I can tell, they play just one phrase differently from what is listed above as "Christmas Day in the Morning". I think it also cropped up once recently in D in our local session, which is very far from Newfoundland, alas.
There are multiple tunes with the name "Munster Buttermilk." Don't confuse this two part jig with the "Munster Buttermilk "also known as "Behind the Haystack," a tune in D with three parts.
Personally, I like this Munster Buttermilk better than the three-part version. The three-parter is really sweet and comfortable, but I find that it gets overly repetitive veeery quickly; this setting is livelier, has more bounce and breath to it, and wings around its phrasing in a much more satisfying manner without being more complicated than it needs to be.

I'm sure this is really well known, but I can't find it here or on other sites. It starts out like this:
dcd edb a2F FEF a2F EFE D ... etc
Maybe it's here in a different key or different "spelling?" I've heard it a few times in sessions.

Re: mystery Dmaj jig
I don't know, but maybe:
dcd edB | A2F FEF | A2F EFE |
sounds more like a possibility?

... but in D not G

Re: mystery Dmaj jig
G is more common in most sessions and allows fiddles to go down an octave without any difficulty.
