The Eve

With the big day a mere few hours away, I took the day off. I'll spend tomorrow morning with family as we open gifts and enjoy a breakfast/brunch setting before we all break away and do our own things in the afternoon and evening. No dinner, you exclaim? That's correct: no one really wanted to take on that endeavor, so we decided the brunch idea would be best.

This post is less about hockey and more about remembering what's important. Hug friends and family. Wish them the best. Be less concerned with what you get and more concerned with who is giving. Family, friends, and loved ones are the most important people over the next few days, so make sure you show your love and appreciation to those that matter most. Gifts are nice, but being grateful for the people who give them is a far better way to live.

Take care, everyone, and all the best to you and yours this season!

Until next time, Merry Christmas!
