‘Twas the night before Christmas, in a park needing joy, there was an unusual visitor tired from helping make toys.
On his head was a red hat with a rim of white, in his hand a wooden Jingle Bell he would be playing tonight. (One way or another.)
“Can’t they get Peter for this? Doing something humiliating is more his style.” He grumbles, sounding pissed.
Miguel was his name, and he could be a bit of a grouch. Luckily, he had a partner to keep him from slipping out. (They all had to chip in!)
This hour he was given a very important task: singing some yuletide music from just a few years past. Beneath his mask his face was glum, but it wasn’t so bad, he just had to perform the Spidey Christmas Album without looking sad.
So he finds his place on the wooden bandstand, he was hard to miss, a little girl was following along with phone ready for viral hits. (The social media hustle never ends!)
Giving a few tepid jingles, drawing eyes from the street, it’s clear he needs a push from his partner to really find the beat.
