“Everyone is just saying it’s a wholesome video,” Lewis said. “It’s upsetting because my grandmother lives on her own so the highlight of her week is when my family and I visit.”

Lewis has been maintaining space from his Nan amid the novel coronavirus crisis and was dropping off groceries to her before sharing the dance.

Verse of the Day

“And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”

Luke 2:16-20
