Just Dance!

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

For our first Christmas, I bought Scott a quilt and 2 quilt shams.  He opened them and said something like, “Gee, it’s nice you bought yourself a present!”

Have I said before that I don’t have the love language of gift-giving?  

I certainly wasn’t sure he’d like the quilt, but I didn’t think he’d so totally reject it.  After all, it was for our marital bed and I thought guys were really into the significance of that bed. . .

Ever since, our family regularly refers to “quilt” presents.

So on Christmas, after opening various kitchen utensil gifts from my kids, imagine my surprise when I opened the Wii game Just Dance 3.

“Oh!  A quilt present!” I even said out loud.

I felt a stab of guilt–kids have asked for Just Dance for over a year now, maybe two.  But I’m so not into video games that I’ve literally forgotten to buy it when I’ve had the chance.

Here’s what’s great about Just Dance:

  1. It’s fun
  2. It’s a good workout–almost as good as Zumba.
  3. They’ve taken all the swear words out of the songs so they’re PG
  4. There’s even an Indian dance, an African dance, a Latin dance and a complete un-PC cringe-worthy Native dance.
  5. I crush my kids almost every single song.  I think Kai’s managed too beat me on one measly song.

Because my New Year’s resolutions include moving my body every day, I’ve wiggled my way through 4 sessions thus far.

Not so bad for a “quilt” present.
