Warning - this one is predictably sad. I feel like it's the Christmas show that should never have been made, though it must have been popular because the script was used in four more Christmases over the years. You listen with a real sense of dread as the story is revealed. And the subject seems all too relevant in today's gun-crazy U.S.
