just when i'm beginning to think all kids this age are drug thugs...i see this guy. he really put a smile on my face. 
The expression 'dance like no one is watching' could have been written for him.
But frankly everyone was after this young man's interpretative dance video to Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You went viral on YouTube, receiving almost 800,000 hits.
As Mariah begins to belt out her famous Christmas hit, Preston Leatherman, 21, tilts his head towards camera, lip-syncs the words and then he's off - leaping and pirouetting around the shopping mall while clutching an iPod and headphones playing the song.
The hilarious footage was filmed in two locations - at the Cool Springs Galleria in Franklin, Tennessee and Nashville's Green Hills Mall last month with the help of an equally uninhibited friend before being put on YouTube.

go flash mob grannies!! i love the lady with the pink walker and O2 tank! nothing stopping her!
Between the Santa hats, stockings, and Christmas trees, a group of senior citizens took to the aisles of Target to give shoppers an unexpected holiday treat.
Elderly residents from Meadowlark Estates in Lawrence, Kansas, decided to spread some seasonal cheer by performing to ‘Last Christmas,’ recorded by the cast of the popular television show Glee.
The leading lady has a heart draped around her neck and was supported by several other happily rocking and swaying grannies.

Old people are aggressive at the shops. I am still buying stuff little by little this week. All the toys are bought, but the catering I do right up to the last minute.

Every Christmas I “adopt” a couple of neglected pre-teen/young teens kids from a local group home. You get a “wish list” from these kids indicating their clothing /shoe size and then a few lines where they write in what they wish for. I like it because I am not guessing at what to get a pre-teen I have never met. I got a couple extra “wish trees” and asked my co-workers to help.
Here is my debate………. A couple of people at my work were annoyed, one even disgusted, because one of the lists asked for an MP3 player, another asked specifically for Nikes. I guess they thought it presumptuous for the kids to ask for expensive things. I bought every thing, including Nikes and an IPod, from my kids’ lists and the kind of clothes I would buy for my own teenagers.
Another lady at my work bought really cheap Wal-Mart clothes/shoes and dollar store “toys” for her adopted kid. She said these kids should be “happy with whatever they got”. I guess that is true but I feel a little sad about it. I happen to know that this lady’s own teens got stuff like a Coach purse, a MacBook and IPads this year. She would never dress them in cheap clothes or shoes. She was the one disgusted that one of the kids “wished” for an MP3 player. Are these kids’ wishes and dreams not as important as our own kids? Are they not worthy of nice things?
IS it really only the thought that counts and it is ok to give crappy stuff as long as you give something?
It is kind of weighing on me because we delivered the stuff today. I am envisioning these kids all sitting around together opening up their stuff – some have really nice stuff and some have dollar store stuff.

That bitch didn't buy those kids one of their "wishes" because she was in it for herself not the kid. She wants to be able to say she participated in that kind of giving, she wants to say "look at what I did for the less fortunate". She didn't care the kid was getting crap, her friends won't know that, all they'll know is that she gave. Bitch. Cheap ass bitch.

It's really cool that you do that, but perhaps next year get a list of friends who would be willing to participate together ahead of time. Either that or just take up a cash collection, and use it to buy the quality that you normally would.
You really have no control over what your coworkers think or buy-and it's easier to let it go, then stew over it.

I'm with you on this one, Nina. I'd get what was on the wish list, as well. I got everything my lil' Angel asked for this year, as I always do.

I wish Santa would go to the grocery store for the adults. THAT would be a big help. Useless effen elves.
Beautiful picture, LC.
