Just Dance!

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:

It’s fun
It’s a good workout–almost as good as Zumba.
They’ve taken all the swear words out of the songs so they’re PG
There’s even an Indian dance, an African dance, a Latin dance and a complete un-PC cringe-worthy Native dance.
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.
