Getting Into the Christmas Spirit

Dancing around the Christmas tree It’s a holiday thing we do. All us kids sing “Jingle all the way,” And Papa does an old soft shoe We giggle and laugh as we decorate Getting into the Christmas spirit, Snow is coming down so hard outside I swear, you can almost hear it.

"And Papa does an old soft shoe" how many of us know what this means? I surely do, but I wonder if we took a poll, how many would not? I love these kinds of phrases. They remind me of my childhood.

Hmmm...I think you're right, but those who don't might be inclined to look it up. I watched Bob Hope's 85th birthday show the other night on YouTube. Sammy Davis Jr did a tap...lost art nowadays, I'm afraid. Anyway, some of them did some old soft shoe on the show.
