BC: We have seven trees in our house. There's a new story. My daughter accidentally broke an ornament of a cardinal. I collect cardinals – it's like of my lucky bird, so we have lots of cardinal ornaments. She broke this beautiful one, like a glass ornament, pretty big. She said it was an accident. She ran away crying, she got very bad… And I said to my wife, "it wouldn't be Christmas without something breaking." So I wrote this song just a few days ago, so I hope you enjoy it.
