I could go on forever writing about the Baltimore Ravens taking care of their own business: Winning the AFC North title and eliminating the Pittsburgh Steelers from postseason play.
But what really pissed me off was the Seattle Seahawks handing the San Diego Chargers a victory with less than minute to play in the game. Now the Ravens have to hope that the Arizona Cardinals can beat the Chargers, so the Ravens can secure the No. 1 seed.
On to new business:
Q: Did I get everything that I wanted for Christmas?
A: Nope. Not even close.
I felt terrible on Sunday and my condition worsened on Christmas Day. It wasn't the first time that I fell ill on Christmas Eve... and it probably won't be the last. But this Christmas of 2006... resembled last year's in the fact that the gifts that I unwrapped were not the items that I requested.
And if not getting the gifts that I requested wasn't bad enough, members of my extended family ran off like thieves in the night with the leftover slices from two cakes that I baked. Leaving me with none.
It's a crying shame that I didn't get anything golf related! Not a sirt, 5-iron or any of the numerous hybrid sets I had wriiten neatly on my wish list.
I am not that hard to shop for! My list was as clear as day: Golf, Yankees or both. And when in doubt... go to any golf shop and buy, buy, buy!
Clearly those instructions were thrown out the window, because this is what I ended up with:
(1)- 2 sleeveless Florida Marlins jerseys.
(2)- A stack of gift cards.
(3)- Cash.
(4)- Checks.
(5)- Assorted DVD movies.
Not receiving the New York Yankees Callaway golf set was a massive blunder.
The best gifts were given by non-family members:
(1)- 3 Miami Hurricanes throws.
(2)- 3 Flannel blankets.
(3)- 4 framed movie posters.
(4)- 2 Baltimore Ravens mini helmets.
Well, my 2006 Christmas will be remembered for... Missing Christmas dinner due to illness, losing my temper watching the closing moments of that Seahawks vs. Chargers disaster and family members heading for the hills with my leftover slices of cake.
I am feeling much better, but the sourness still remains!
