Sort:  

I just woke up, and I just heard the pretty sounding crash of a glass Christmas ball breaking on the floor near the Christmas tree. My first thought was of a two piece chicken breaking out of it's egg. Except with your scenario another ball will have to break. That shouldn't be an issue for the kids.

Looks like I screwed up another Christmas...

Those glass balls are so thin, they are like rules - made to be broken.
