A Little Elf

My son performs as part of Tuba Christmas every year.  Tuba Christmas, in case you don't know, is a group of tuba and euphonium players who provide a free concert in the park located in Winter Park, Florida.  (There are a couple of hundred groups that do similar concerts all over the country.)  The band played all the traditional holiday music which was great for eliciting that holiday spirit.

Above you see the first paragraph of the essay. The essay continues to describe how I encounter a young boy dressed in an elf costume hainding out candy.  I explain why he made a lasting impression on me.

  1. Very moving and inspirational story about your encounter with the your "little elf". Perhaps one day you'll see him there again or another kid passing the joy of the seasons to the passersby. Always we as a society are always so busy that we often miss even the simple of things that can bring us the greatest joy in this fast-paced world. Take care and Happy Holidays!
