How fun is that!? A catchy tune and cute kids. I hope it brought a smile to your heart, even if Christmas isn’t your holiday.
Sometimes it’s helpful to look at the origin of things, behaviours, and practices. It gives us perspective.
This song, for example. I don’t remember it during that time my kids were growing up in the 1970s. It resurfaced a few years ago, but had its origins back in 1953 when 10-year-old Gayla Peevey was invited to sing a new song on Oklahoma television.
I love seeing these two videos in sequence because it reminds me that times have changed.. and yet some things are enduring. I’d say the charm of children and this catchy tune are among them.
I enjoyed this albeit a little late for the holidays 😉 Gayla Peevey – 10 years old?! Incredible! Is one of your grand-daughters in that chorus line by chance?
No one I know, but I thought they were too cute to ignore 🙂
