Merry Christmas Michael Jackson

yes. you're right. Christmas has been over for some time now. So why, do you ask, have I titled this post Merry Christmas to a dead popstar? Well let me share a little holiday magic with you that, at the time, was also a late in coming.
December 28th, 2009: Peagler Family trip to Amelia Island during which we took a family outing to go ride the Jacksonville Ferry. Well we drove about 25 minutes past the thing (beside the point) but once we found it we rode across the river. Once on the other side we ate at a shack on the shore that served seafood. Once there and having ordered our linner (it was 3:45 in the afternoon, what were we doing?) my brothers saw a jukebox alone in the corner that needed some tunes playing. So they begged my dad for a dollar and walked over to it in the very quiet restaurant. Well I wait to see what they pick when all the sudden "SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN, SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN, SANTA CLAUS IS COMINGGGGG TO TOWNNNN" blares out of the juke box by none other than the dead american pop star and his four brothers on December 28th. Great job boys. They came back to the table saying they couldn't figure out how to work it... go figure. But all me and my Mom could do was laugh while my Dad just rolled his eyes and proceeded to lecture my brothers that if they didn't know how to use something they just shouldn't use it at all. While suffering laughing through the whole song we were all relieved to hear it end. But lo and behold when our anticipation of hopefully hearing a more appropriate song was dashed by these words raining out of the jukebox...
"SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN, SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN, SANTA CLAUS IS COMINGGGGG TO TOWNNNN"... again
Yep. Never again will we hear that song as a family and forget our time in Amelia Island when we heard that song 3 days too late... Or was it just 362 days too early?
