For this Christmas I thought I would recall the splendid events of yesteryear.
- Watching my mother-in-law play Gotham Racing on the Xbox
- There was that Christmas when my mother-in-law choked on something (we don’t really know what it was) and the Heimlich Maneuver was administered. Good thing the EMTs were just down the street at a Christmas eve service. They were too late. She was already OK.
- Nothing is worse than the stomach flu over Christmas. All but one of us had it coming out of both ends. Miserable.
- There was that one time my sister-in-law fainted on me at the altar during communion at the Christmas Eve service at the church. Good times.
- My wife knocked me completely out in the first round of Wii Boxing. Embarrassing.
- When my daughter was a toddler, she ate, oh, I don’t know, 20 or so green Christmas tree cookie-press cookies. I know, it’s a lot.
- One time we went to see a high school hockey tournament at the Xcel Energy center in Minneapolis. Can’t beat 6 bucks for a whole day of sweet hockey action.
- One of my personal highlights — Bucks vs T’Wolves at the Target Center. Oh, and the Bucks played it close all game and then pulled away at the end with some clutch shooting. All five of us Bucks fans had a good time.
- We sent my in-laws to a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert one year. They called us from the concert on their cell phone and we got to hear them rocking out the joint.
- Then there was that one year when the heat went out on our 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis on the way home from MN. We stopped somewhere on I-35 and got a bunch of hand-warmer packets and stuffed them in our socks. Not fun.
Hope you’ve had a Merry Christmas.

This sounds like our Christmas this year…
“Nothing is worse than the stomach flu over Christmas. All but one of us had it coming out of both ends. Miserable.”
9 out of 11 fell to the nastiest stomach flu I believe I’ve witness. I agree … Miserable.
ever witnessed, that is. I’ve still not fully recovered.
