Merry Christmas Bitches
Merry Christmas! Happy Festivus!
It doesn’t feel like Christmas. Gifts are skimp. The S.O. and I decided not to exchange gifts (again). Instead we are going to save our pennies and take a trip to our favorite city, NYC, in February. Anniversary, Xmas, V-Day, and my B-day all rolled into one. It’s the economy!
But, we both got a great present for Christmas from one of his co-workers! Her family has season tickets to the ‘Skins and she called on Sunday to offer us the tickets to the last home game.
Here are some pics:
This guy was going back and forth with an Eagles fan wearing a Dawkins jersey. There were two shows going on at once. It was comical.
Section 306, Club Level
This was a fun (cold!) game and it went by so fast, even though at one point both teams were going three and out and punting every time. We were sitting right in front of the Eagles endzone in the fourth quarter when the guy (Brown?) caught the ball at the 1 yard line in the last play of the game. It was amazing to see it right it front of my face and we all knew he didn’t break the plane of the endzone. Pretty exciting stuff. Everyone stayed until the end of the game though so it took an hour and a half to get home. I ran over two beer bottles on the way out! But I loved every minute of it! Well, one thing I hated was the fact that grown men turn into barbaric animals and act like complete assholes. Poor little Eagles fans had to hear all the drunken madness afterwards. But one comment from a ’skins fan did make me laugh. He said, “Eagles suck! They can’t even beat the ’skins!”
The year is almost over and thank goodness for that. This wasn’t a good year, except maybe for sports (Super Bowl, Olympics). 2009 will be better. Trust.
Hope you have a great holiday!
