Life's a Stitch

I’ve blogged in the past about the rules of gifting that have developed in our family over the years. Something that plugs into the wall is generally not a gift. And it truly has to be a gift for the recipient, not something the giver has wanted. We’re finding the older we get, the more we appreciate gifts that are consumable and not likely to collect dust.

A couple of months ago, in a rare moment, C shared something online that he found quite uplifting. The Jerusalema Challenge was a positive break from the pandemic and recent news. Having issues with the video links, but I think this will work:

As soon as I saw it I knew what I wanted for my quickly approaching birthday, our own Jerusalema challenge. C took over and surprisingly the kids accepted with minimal complaining. Even good friends wanted in.

There are plenty of Youtube Jerusalema tutorials and I pictured a Zoom birthday party with simultaneous dancing. Instead we all recorded our bits and sent them off to our family filmmaker for editing, a better approach. So I present to you the Wilbo dance challenge. Give it a bit to download:
