Have A Merry Christmas

 Christmas came a bit early this year.

 

Somehow, the planets aligned and suddenly all of my Christmas events came together on one day.  It ended up that the day was Sunday.  And that meant there would be no football. 

 

As a musician, it was a great day.  At 12:00, I was scheduled to sing a solo at church.  At 3, I had a Christmas Party for my students.  And at 6, I was back at church for a Christmas concert.  But as a football fan, it meant that I was going to miss most of the action. 

 

My first glimpse was driving to the party.  It was about 1:30 and I caught the Bengals game against the Vikings on the radio.  Brett Favre and the Vikings were taking care of the Bengals.  I immediately knew I picked that one wrong, but soon I forgot about it and got to the party.  It was at a local restaurant, and I could see there was a football game on in the bar, but there was no chance at getting over to it. 

 

By 6, I was at a warm-up for the concert.  Some people were talking about how the Colts and the Saints remained undefeated, although later I found out the Saints did not cover.    Later I saw a young man at the concert in a Chargers jacket and jersey.  The Chargers have won an NFL record 16 games in a row in December.  They were underdogs against the Cowboys who never win in December.  It was easy money.  Unfortunately, somehow I took the boys. 

 

After a day of missing football, I got home in time to catch the end of the Eagles beating the Giants.  I knew I had three losses in the Saints, Bengals, and Cowboys, but expected the day to be a complete disaster.  It turned out I went 11-3 for the day.  Maybe it will be a Merry Christmas after all.
