Last Friday afternoon I had the pleasure of doing a
stint on behalf of the Salvation Army during their annual fund-raising drive to
help local families. During moments when nobody was either coming in or
exiting, I played a little game in my head to keep myself occupied….
Keeping in mind that the only instruments available to
me were the hand-held jungle bells and
my own finger snapping or toe tapping, the results were a lot of fun and
actually elicited comments from several who had observed me while approaching
from the parking lot or, conversely, checking out at the cash!
My own little dance party was founded on whatever song
title came into my head – then hum the melody with accompanying percussion of
bells, feet, thumb ‘n finger and an occasional ricochet off the kettle. I had
some good rhythms going and it was a blast..Visualize the pompom on my Santa
hat just bopping and shoulders rocking. I’m truly not The Littlest Elf, but the
bowlful of jelly was not too remarkable either!
Ho-ho-ho…”have yourself a merry little Christmas now.”
