Ornaments adorned the Bullfinch stage when Hillbilly’s Angels and 16 Cylinders Inside a Jalopy held their holiday spectacle there Thursday night.

Guitarist G.G. cut her toe mistaking one of the figurines for a foot pedal. Others got willfully kicked off the platform by bassist Bink. In the crowd, they got thrown about, resulting in the strongest disciplinary measure known in any small club—the houselights went on. The star of Bethlehem could not have shone more brightly.

There’s now a sign above the bar demanding that no Christmas ornaments or creche pieces are allowed onstage. No room at the inn.
