Christmas Wishes
This year Christmas Eve also means the final Monday Night Football game of the season and it should be an exciting match up out West as the 9-5 San Diego Chargers host the 6-8 Denver Broncos, which can be seen at 5 pm on ESPN. I went down to Qualcomm last Sunday for my first NFL game in around 19 years and the Bolts rewarded my patience with a 51-14 demolition of the Detroit Lions. Should the Chargers “win out” their remaining two games, they would earn the #3 spot in the AFC and thus avoid facing the still undefeated Patriots until the AFC championship game at the earliest. Although the seemingly unstoppable New England Patriots rolled over the Miami Dolphins without much difficulty yesterday, I’m still holding out hope that the New York Giants can fulfill the role of spoiler to their perfect campaign in Week 17.
One last trip to the Santa Monica Promenade this afternoon will take care of the remaining gift purchases, soon to be followed by packing bags for the week in New York. Tomorrow’s cross-country flight doesn’t even land until 5:30 pm so, for the second year in a row, a majority of Christmas Day will be spent traveling. Those of you who live close to your families and don’t have to fly should feel especially lucky to be near to the ones you love all year-round. The many potential headaches will all be worth it upon arrival for Christmas dinner, an eagerly anticipated and cherished tradition.
The next blog entries will be coming straight from the Big Apple. Until then I hope all the readers of Wear & Tear have a wonderful, peaceful, and Merry Christmas!
