Dear Lifesong Friends,
Did you know that January is International Polka Month?
Let me share a childhood story with you.
You can believe that during the hot Summers, we would ROLL down our windows in the car to get some fresh air. (Do you remember the time when there were no power windows?) Mom loved to turn up the radio. One day, she was channel surfing when she found polka music. My sister and I immediately started dancing in our seats. There’s something so light and bouncy about a polka!
We rolled down the windows, turned up the polka music, and circled the neighborhood a couple of times to spread the joy.
This is one of my favorite childhood memories.
Create a memory filled with music for your child today. You don’t necessarily have to blast polka music to your neighbors, but feel the polka joy.
Dancing into 2013,

I know what you mean about polka music bringing the beat to your feet! My boy and I love to dance no matter where we are. Last night, we had to wait on my husband for 45 minutes in the car and I turned up the tunes and let him sit in the front seat so we could dance to some worship music!
Great to hear you just go with the flow!
I’ve never really liked polka music, but it is fun to listen to sometimes. I think kids especially enjoy the fast beat.
I agree. I think it’s most enjoyable if the polka dancing is part of your heritage. A cultural taste, maybe. I don’t regularly listen to polka music, but love this memory with my mom.
