Mandarin Oranges

Remember when you could only get Mandarin Oranges at Christmastime?
I wrote this song in 2016 but felt like it sounded too much like 'first world problems'. Every year at Christmas I would play the song and finally decided that it expressed something real.
Last year I submitted the song for an art and song project that Wayne Corner and Annie Froese hold annually in High River. This time I got paired with an amazing ceramic artist, Connie Pike. I ended up buying the beautiful bowl she created to go with my song, which I'm holding in the picture.
