Ringing and Singing!
Friday, December 26th, 2008
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a very happy new year. I spent Christmas with my Mom and some other friends and we enjoyed a quiet time just relaxing. Other family members will be coming here soon so will enjoy the sounds of excited children once again. I also spent Christmas Eve day ringing the Salvation Army bell at a local grocery store. In addition to ringing the bell, I sang Christmas carols as folks rushed in and out of the store. It was fun to observe people’s reactions as some began singing along or smiled and others did not even seem to notice or care that an elf was singing as they entered the store. It is one of my goals in life to put smiles on faces as people just do not smile and laugh enough. So, getting into a costume and singing just seems as natural to me as breathing fresh air. Should you be interested in seeing me in a costume, I sing, dance and play along with many folks doing singing telegrams all year long. Just check out my website for more information: Silly Sally Singing Telegrams
One of the Christmas gifts I have enjoyed so far is a book by Terry Fator entitled, “Who’s the Dummy Now?” Some of you might remember Terry as the winner of America’s Got Talent a couple years ago. He is a ventriloquist so naturally I have enjoyed reading his accounts of his life and fulfilling his dream to be a full-time professional performer as this is certainly something I hope continue to strive towards. The book is a good read about his struggles growing up and how this helped him work harder to become the professional entertainer he is today.
Well, I wish you a very Happy New Year. I shall be working two gigs that day/night so will fill get you caught up in 2009. Blessings!
