The ice cream man came rolling through our neighborhood this afternoon.
The truck looks much the same as the ice cream trucks that I ran to greet as a kid, but the announcement of the ice cream man's arrival has changed. The jingle of bells has been replaced by music blaring through a loudspeaker.
Technological advancement is to be expected I suppose, but I found the music selections to be a little odd.
The first song to tickle my ears was a tinny version of Bohemian Rhapsody which morphed into Jingle Bells. Okay I can kind of understand the Jingle Bells thing, but when that song rolled into Away in a Manger followed by Oh Holy Night I was dumbfounded.
I was tempted to chase the truck down and order an ice cream cup just to see if the cardboard container was decorated with a Nativity scene.
