Merry Christmas!!

Since I'm five hours ahead of most of you, my Christmas Eve is well underway. I've baked a pie, set the table, and I'm considering cracking open a bottle of something. Santa will visit my house before you guys have even gone to bed (I know this because we're tracking him on the NORAD website!).

I think it's very interesting that El Presidente and I are the only ones around here today!

Merry Christmas!

PSU - watch out Vols

Here is a video that will inspire all the PSU fans out there and help you remember that there is ONE MORE game this season. January, 1, 2007 at 11:00 AM, I can't wait, it will start off my new year with some early football. Penn State at 8-4 goes up against Tennessee at 9-3. Lions, let's bring home the victory for the team, the fans, and the BIG TEN.
We Are . . . Penn State

Crazy Frog Christmas

I love Crazy Frog (that's what having kids does, I guess). I found this video and thought I'd share with the group. More to come. We teachers are off for the entire next week and I for one am going to waste as much time as I can (when everyone else is still sleeping, that is).

The Christmas Kangaroo

Has anyone heard of this unusual Australian Christmas character? No wonder it's called 'the land down under'! This tidbit of useless knowledge is also brought to us by SNL.

Holiday Gift Idea for all you guys out there...

In case any of you GUYS are getting tired of dealing with all the crowds, traffic, the Malls and the general Holiday B.S. - I have an alternative and Simple Gift Idea (that I'm sure all the ladies will appreciate).

Sorry Ladies - I Saw this on SAT Night Live and had to post it....I haven't laughed so hard in ages!!

Holiday get-togethers and Poker

Has anyone thought about getting together over the holidays? Maybe we can make something happen over the 2 weekends of 22nd/23rd or 29th/30th.

I'm hoping there's some interest in a poker night, too. Can anyone host a poker gathering? Robb and I have even mentioned a possible trip to Atlantic City. Who would be interested? We could consider driving or taking a bus trip. What are the bus services? Longy, does your brother have anything planned?

It looks like I'm arriving up North this Friday, but going to my wife's parents near WilkesBarre first until Tue/Wed 26/27, then to Catty until Jan 2. I could still make a trip back from WB if something is going on, but maybe we can aim for an event on Fri/Sat 29/30.

Thoughts?

we needed a Christmas post for Friday.

Six Weeks Old

John Matteo is six weeks old today so I figured it's about time I post some pictures. Hey Sonia...hopefully these will be easier to look at!

Hey Muller!

Mike, Is this how you prepare for a Steeler's game? EEEEEEEWWWWWWW! I know the Steelers haven't done well this season, but seriously, don't turn around.

Real Life Heat Miser

Thought it was time to let the cat out of the bag. I have been hiding the REAL Heat Miser for years now. Just one of my dirty little secrets. The pressure has been way too much and revealing his true identity is just the relief I have been looking for after all these years. I credit the blogmasters for this wonderful form of counseling and Steve for broaching the subject and making me realize the time has come to come clean.

Favorite?

Which is your favorite Christmas "movie/special"?

Mine are "The Year Without A Santa Claus" because of the Miser Brothers and I like Yukon Cornelius in "Rudolph" - Yukon says "The fog is as thick as peanut butter", Herbie says "Don't you mean pea soup", and Yukon replies, "You eat what you like and I'll eat what I like".

Yo Robb

This is for you, captured it as it happened. What do you say happened? The Vi"queens" season gets worse than it already was. SAFETY -- Chicago 23 - Minnesota - 6 (should have been a TD, the RB fumbled, but it was not challenged).

Happy Holidays - 86ers!

Happy Holidays to all in the class of '86 (I am naming US, the 86ers) from the 'Prez'

Let's try to have a get together over the Christmas holidays.
I will try to get out.
Who wants to take charge of this "mini-reunion"? Anyone? Bueller, Bueller . . .
