He was dressed in a sophisticated black suit and a blue shirt, wearing the tie she gave him for Christmas last year. She was wearing a beautiful new blue dress and the lovely sapphire jewelry he gave her a few Christmases ago. The handsome young gentleman escorted his loving wife to the dance floor, and together they swayed with the music.
Then he twirled her under his arm. Her golden hair caught on the buttons of his jacket sleeve. She followed through, hoping to come disentangled, but it was not to be. Wondering why she was not standing upright, the dashing young man felt a tug at his sleeve and, seeing his young wife bent over connected at his arm, he untangled her hair from his buttons quickly as possible, which naturally must have felt like an eternity to the young couple in the midst of a dance floor beneath the sparkling glitter ball.
They regained their composure and finished the rest of the song, but as it ended and they retreated red-faced to their seats to sit out the next song, an elderly gentleman pointed to them and said, “That’s what happens when you try to get fancy!”
Other than that little episode, we had a wonderful time at the Starlight Christmas Dance. We especially appreciated the local businesses who donated decorations, food and beverages for the evening. Thanks to: Excel Linde, Uncle Yammy’s Rib Shack, Pepsi Co., Wilbur’s Barbecue, and all the other sponsors for making the evening delightful- and delicious!
