The video, which was posted to Facebook on Dec. 6, has been shared over 2,000. It shows passers-by stopping and admiring the adorable man as he stomps his foot and slaps his knee to the music.

Jo Louise posted the footage, filmed by her own mother, on the social networking site with the caption, "Awe this is what Xmas is all about."
