All I Want For Christmas is a Flash Mob

Nine days away. If I had a true love, today I’d be giving her nine ladies dancing. Not sure what she’d do with them, but they’d be good enough for her to wanna sing about it…plus the ten lords leaping from yesterday and a couple other random things from the previous days. This girl has some interesting desires! Hopefully my true love will ask for something a bit more practical when she comes into my life.

All I want for Christmas though…still don’t have an answer for that question.

Mariah Carey knows what she wants.

Keenan Cahill knows what he wants.

I think what I really want is something not so tangible. I want to be a part of a flash mob! Not just any flash mob, one that defines all flash mobs. One that upstages Glee and every other attempt.
I am working on a new campaign for Christ Church Kirkland’s vision and mission in 2011 and I am trying to figure out how to use a flash mob as a method of evangelism. I don’t want it to be preachy. It doesn’t have to be plastered with Jesus lingo or crosses hanging from our neck. We have amazing dancers in this church and a bunch of people, like me, who may not be the next Michael Jackson, but man, we’ll give everything we got to act the part.

So, who’s with me? 2011 flash mob in progress!

All I want for Christmas is some killer dance moves, the ability to choreograph a hot flash mob, and a way to tie it into CCK’s 2011 vision. This can all happen. It’s what I want for Christmas and Santa doesn’t leave a good boy with coal on Christmas morning.

Here are some of my favorite flash mobs:

And anytime you get a fat guy dancing in a speedo, you’re gonna get a viral hit (no, I will not do this for our flash mob):
