Music video

[edit]

Directed by Adams, the video shows the Canadian rocker reinventing the classic Christmas story of Joseph and Mary, as a classic rock and roll love story, with Jesus' parents fleeing their small town and finding a safe haven for themselves and their unborn child. Set in the streets of Vancouver, aboard a Buick Gran Sport, the role of the pregnant "Mary" is played by singer Kessi Blue, there are three Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the video representing the Biblical Magi.[3]
