Elderly Man Spreads Festive Joy With Impromptu Christmas Jig In City Center

An elderly passer-by surprised shoppers in Middlesbrough, UK, by stopping in his tracks and performing a jig by the city center Christmas tree.

The man danced to a jazzy tune being played by a nearby busker before carrying on his merry way.

Jo Louise, who posted the footage her mom shot to Facebook, later said, “This is what Christmas is all about!”

She commented on the post, “Doesn’t matter how old you get, young at heart! Hope he won’t mind all these shares but it’s touching, bless him.”

The man is as yet unidentified, but he’s certainly spreading a little Christmas joy around the internet in the video, which has now had nearly 300,000 views.

Jo added, “I would love to know who he his and let him know how much everybody loves the video.”
