Review of First US Christmas

It's good to hear what Christmas can mean to someone from another country rather that to one from here. This piece engages the listener to look back at the actual, deaper meaning of the celebration. Having to prove you can support your child on your own is never easy, especially in an abussive relationship. It focuses our attention how shallow we've become while creating a sentimental mood. With the giggles, and bike bell sound, it clearly shows innocence in the child which lead me to tears.
