For many, B次元官网网址淎ll I Want for Christmas is My Two Front TeethB次元官网网址� is just a cute song. For Taylor Fawcett, itB次元官网网址檚 true to life B次元官网网址� and heB次元官网网址檚 also asking for third tooth too.
The Uvic masters student, who aspires to be an opera singer, recorded himself singing the tune. A slight lisp adds to his humorous plea.
B次元官网网址淚 thought no better opportunity to sing a song has ever presented itself to me,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚 thought it would perhaps be a funny keepsake.B次元官网网址�

The response has been overwhelming, Fawcett said. The video has been watched more than 7,500 times on Facebook, and his has been shared more than 375 times. So far, heB次元官网网址檚 been able to raise nearly $10,000 of his $15,000 goal.
It began in July when Fawcett fainted and knocked out three of his front teeth. HeB次元官网网址檚 since had to take time off of school, and wears a retainer with fake teeth for any scheduled performances he still has.
ItB次元官网网址檚 not the first time heB次元官网网址檚 had a tooth knocked out.
B次元官网网址淥ne of the teeth that I had knocked out this time was already an implant. The first time, I lost that front tooth when I was 14 playing basketball. Then when I was 20, I got that implant. I knocked it out at 27 and IB次元官网网址檓 getting it redone at 28,B次元官网网址� he said with a laugh.
B次元官网网址淚t might not be so funny if it were to happen a third time.B次元官网网址�
ItB次元官网网址檒l only be a few more days that Fawcett will be toothless. The first of his three surgeries is coincidentally scheduled on Dec. 24 B次元官网网址� right before Christmas.
B次元官网网址淚t was the earliest opportunity that the surgeon I want to go with was available that didnB次元官网网址檛 conflict with my most recent gig,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檒l be a weird Christmas, but itB次元官网网址檚 just another interesting part of the story.B次元官网网址�
