Christmas Eve

Hey Yinzers,

So tonight is the most exciting night of the year for most 10 and under. To be quite honest with you I still believe in Santa Clause. Sometimes you have to realize that Santa may not be a person but an action. The act of doing something nice during the holiday season may be a Santa- if you will. The act of giving , your time , money or an action for someone may be an act of Santa. I believe that we have more Santa's than we can count on a daily basis in our lives.

I am so thankful for this. When I have kids one day I am still going ( and hope ) to do such a good job like my parents did ,to let me be a kid and believe in Santa Clause. I still get excited to think of the day I can play Santa and see my kids faces Light up on Christmas day, like mine always did. I even asked my Grandparents if Santa was real and they said what did I believe- I said I did and they never corrected me or told me I was wrong.

The other part besides the presents and Santa , was going to Christmas eve Midnight Mass in PA. You can say what ever about religon but The Catholics on Christmas eve do it right. The myserium is at the highest point of the year and for a 10-15 or 31 year old kid it is almost enough to send you through the roof. If you are lucky it may snow where you are and you can have a white christmas. That would be my highlight- and I have had a white christmas on more that one occasion.

Christmas is also about going home to your families, Friends and relatives. As I get older I see this is the most important. The Holidays would be totally empty with out all of these things. I also get to see my dog- Lucy. Exciting I know and my Cat tigger.

But Finally I am just glad I am here to see another Christmas with my parents, to see the good in people ,and to see just how lucky I am . I am so lucky . That is what Christmas is to me.

The MSM will be off until Sunday, because my parents have Dial up- Sorry but I will be back in town this weekend in time for Steelers Sunday.

From JIM, MIKE, HECKLER, Arod and NIX( me) we thank you for such a successful year in this blogging non-sense and we look forward to the big 2009.

Be thankful and Be blessed! Merry Christmas....

( I hope everyone gets steeler stuff)

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!

Hey Yinzers,

Last night in Penguins action the Pens came from an 0-2 deficit to upend the Buffalo Sabers in OT. Sidney Crosby had the game winner which was a magnificent goal if I have ever saw one. It went to review in Toronto and came back a winner. Along with the game winner , Dupius had his 7th of the year, along with Alex golagoski whom had his 5-6 too. Great start for the pens through the almost middle of the season.

So now there is a bunch of controversy after a few Titans stomped the Terrible towel on Television On Sunday. Head Coach Jeff Fisher said that it was OK and it was an emotional game- former Head coach Bill Cohwer took major offense. He went on to say that it was very disrespectful of the towel and that it basically would come back and hit them in the ass. All I am saying is if we get another shot at their crappy team- they are going to pay - O'Doyle
rules.

Case of the Mundays

Hey Yinzers,

First off it's alright. We know going into a season that you possibly can win every game you play-but if you do not cheat in some way or another( pats) you probably will loose a few games here and there.

The loss yesterday to the Titans was pretty bad. Considering that Ben Threw for 331 and we had a pretty good comeback until our OLINE went to sleep. I understand it is a long season and players are tired but we still have a first round bye, and #2 ranking in the AFC. ( 5 turnovers)( 3 Sacks by one titan)

God help those Titans if we get a chance at them in the playoffs. It wasn't bad enough that we lost but the stomped the terrible towel. Not smart. The steelers are not a cocky bunch but if you provoke us the JOE GREEN shows up and someone will get hurt.

I am in no way saying that it is ok that we lost, but it may be a blessing for the long run.

GO STILLERS get ready to beat the Browns for an 11 consecutive time.

Penguins

Tonight Sid and the boys are on the road in Buffalo to play the sabers. The Pens are 2-3-0 in their past 5 games. Not to good. But We will have to see what happens following that 7-3 loss the other night to the leafs.

Hope everyone has a great start to their Christmas Week. If you are traveling please be careful and make sure you wish every one you meet a merry Christmas.

See yinz Tuesday!
