Christmas at Graceland

Bubbie is hard at work with some Christmas music playing in the background. It’s sad but Bubbie’s life has been so hectic that he can't even get his mind around the fact that Christmas is just around the corner. Deeply engrossed in his work he barely notices the moving music in the background. Then it comes over him like the warmth of a fire when coming in from a snowy day; it is Elvis. Bubbie stops and leans back to soak in the beautiful voice cascading from his speakers and it occurs to him; with all of the hype and absurdity, and irreverence of corny impersonators, he had a beautiful voice and most of the time, knew how to use it. God bless you Elvis, rest in peace.
