365 Days of Fun and Chillaxation – Blog 232 – Surprise Christmas Carols Light Up My Night

Submitted by on December 13, 2010 – 7:00 pm

They appeared out of nowhere at our Playcentre Christmas Party, their music drifting into the Playcentre like the scent of baking chocolate.  They traveled community style in a bus, and they were mak’n music, sweet music.  Brass band flavoured Christmas carols filled the street.  A beaming woman jogged up to us and gave us a Christmas card.  And from the depth of the bus shone smiling faces accompanied by shy yet proud waves.

“Did you come especially for us?” I inquired hopefully.

“No, we just happened to drive down this street,” replied the beaming woman.  They carried on their merry way and I later heard they’d merrily chugged all around Takaka handing out Christmas cards.  Presents, stuff issue, consumerism and everything else-ism that we attach to Christmas, I still find it an exciting time and and I love it when the older generation lead by joyful example.
