This year, I actually ventured out on “Black Friday”. Because I love my mother –in-law dearly (and we always have the most fun adventures…) I chose to suck it up and try it. And it was nice, crowded and chaotic, but nice, especially with ½ of my holiday shopping done. So, I want to make sure that, while I was checking everyone else’s lists, that I didn’t forget at least one hint on my list. I am not picky, flashy, needing the most expensive things, just a little something that waits for me under the tree.
I will be very honest. I love the Windy City. Chicago has always held a special place in my heart. I am in the doghouse for another 170-odd days, until the Flyers apparently do something because I ended up siding with the Blackhawks during the Stanley Cup Finals last year. I don’t mind admitting it, Hossa finally showed me that he really wanted it and I accepted that it was ok for him to win. And I really liked the way that #33 played…he really WOW ed me.
And now, now I feel like Chicago just handed us all the pieces that were missing from our game plan this whole time. I sat there over Thanksgiving, just not knowing how to thank my Chicago friends for the incredible gift bestowed upon us. And now, after another amazing performance, in total holiday spirit I have to say “Thank you Chicago! ”
