The best day of every year, in my humble opinion, is Christmas, and today was that day.
YAHOO!
The day started with a bit of . . .
. . . Brian FitzGerald's AI Magic!
Leaving a sweet young thing in awe is good for my ego.
Or was it something I said?
We were fortunate that the predicted flood-like conditions for our town did not materialize today although we did get some scattered rainfall spread out thankfully throughout the day.
In the afternoon, Vanessa, Michael, Mary and Jacob came to our home for some food, gift exchanging and the viewing of not one but two Christmas classics.
The first film was the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol starring Reginald Owen as Ebenezer Scrooge. LOVED IT yet again.
Our second movie was the 2019 animated film Klaus which none of us had ever seen. It was a big hit with all of us, a new instant Christmas classic for our family to be sure.
Our reason for the season today
Let the gift giving begin!
"My Only Limitation Is My Imagination"
True Mary, 100% TRUE.
Laurie's knitting skills made
many a gift today
GO HUSKIES!
This book was a big hit with
our young Civil War scholar
The elder Civil War scholar in the room was excited about this tome as well.
We all first saw it at the Civil War museum in Charleston, South Carolina a few weeks ago.
Pink is her favorite color
Why are these two miscreants laughing?
We're laughing because of
this gift from Vanessa
This t-shirt and photo captured
the joy of the day perfectly
Another Brian FitzGerald AI effort
really captured our feelings today
After the kids went home, I opened up my computer to find yuletide greetings from all over the American football world and beyond.
Here are some examples . . .

Spain in general
Our 2025 club, the Gijón Mariners, are

in his whirlwind, round the world
sleigh ride somewhere in Ireland
Tercer Cuarto Football Group

Of course he LOVES football!
Closer to home . . .
The Rams were . . .
. . . heavily into . . .
. . . the Christmas spirit today!
It was nice of Clemson to
remember our visit this season
Merry Christmas Huskies!
What you get for having that
one friend with WSU roots

Even the Riddell Company got into the spirit of the season with fun, new helmet designs . . .
Chinstrap in red too perhaps?
I like this one, quite Christmasy
Gift wrapped but ready to wear
Key thoughts during the holidays
Looks like an after dinner mint
The Dodgers got into the act
Greetings from the baseball grave?
The Seattle Pilots one and only season in the American League was 1969.
They moved to Milwaukee in 1970 and became the Brewers.
Has it really been FIFTEEN years
since that memorable 500 mile stroll
through the north of Spain?
Spain. I absolutely LOVE Spain!
While Barcelona is still my
overall favorite city, if we ever
moved to Spain, I believe that
Gijón would be our landing spot
Someone may need to hand
me a hammer, SOON!
Final thought for today . . .
Our resident Jewish expert,
Joanne Sabolić, confirmed this
well known talmudic historical fact
Laurie and I both hope that you enjoyed the . . .
Merriest Christmas Ever!
