Morning coffee for you with a chortle

I was in the metropolis of downtown Kota Tinggi this afternnon, shopping at the RM2 store.  Entering the store I saw an old chubby grandpa doling out some change to let his little granddaughters take a ride in a car-car thing just outside the shop.  Fishing around for a bit of change, he finally plugged the car-car in and ta da, the song started and the motor revved.

And what to my wondering ears did appear?

We wish you a Merry Christmas

The old guy looked at me, and I looked at him, and we burst out laughing. He from embarrassment, and I from amusement.  His little granddaughters, complete in tudung, had no idea what the song was that was playing for them. But they loved the tune, and pretended to sing along, tudungs flapping in the make-believe wind.  They got their money's worth. It was still pounding out Christmas cheer after I left. Nothing like pushing the season, and in a place where it is not really celebrated.
