An elderly World War II veteran recently celebrated his coming 95th birthday on Dec. 22 by dancing to Frank Sinatra’s version of “Jingle Bells.”
Chuck Franzke, who was clearly in the Christmas spirit, busted a move in impressive fashion, with video of his performance emerging on Twitter last week. Watch the former Navy pilot below:

You might recall that Franzke went viral last year after he released a video just before his 94th birthday of him dancing to Burl Ives’ version of “Holly Jolly Christmas,” as Fox News reported.
Franzke even spoke out about his nimble moves after the most recent video started making the rounds.
“I liked to do the Jitterbug back in the 40s, but I haven’t done a lot of dancing since.” he told Fox News. “I like to move around to music, it’s almost like I’m still young but then look in the mirror and I ain’t.”
He and his wife, Bev, have been married for 75 years. The two are active, as they walk around a local lake each day and go out for coffee. Franzke even goes top the gym four times a week. Pretty impressive.
