An acoustic Christmas song. No one I know like this song, but I'm proud of my songwriting, playing and vocals on this one.

A true story song about my Great Great Grandfather who was martyred here is Scotland for His faith. He was tied to a stake at low tide, then drowned at high tide. I am proud of him. Written & played with a bit of Celtic spice.
