They may not be able to carry a tune, but never underestimate the power of a llama.
The doorbell rings and you hear the sound of a not-so-on-key group of carolers on your doorstep. You dread opening the door because that means you will be inclined to listen to them sing all versus of the 12 days of Christmas while letting the frigid winter air invade your home, and by the time they get to 7 swans a swimming you are still wondering how french hens are different from any other hen…In spite of apprehensiveness, you don’t want to be seen as the neighborhood Ebenezer, so you go to the door to listen the carolers and then send them be on their merry way. You crack the door expecting to see 7 mismatched scarves and gloves, but you see a llama. Blink, look again. It’s still there. There is a llama on your doorstep amongst the off-key, mismatched scarves and gloves, but all of a sudden they sound like angels and this is coolest group you ever seen.
It’s all part of a food drive. For the last few years, a few individuals have rented llamas from the Kirshna Temple and organized carolers to go around collecting items for the Utah Food Bank. And like I said don’t underestimate the power of a llama. Kids love them. Adults love them. And they are willing to donate big bags of food just because you brought a llama to their door. Even the woman hosting Christmas party and is not interested in scrounging her pantry to give you anything, and even less interested listening to you sing…until she sees the llama. Then she calls all her friends to come see the llama, listen to you sing, and you leave with a big bag of food that will be appreciated by those who are not as fortunate this holiday season.
Serious. The ROI jumps leaps and bounds just because you have a llama.
