This is like the Perfect Storm for me:  Eagles game on TV, Christmas Day, and my son's birthday.  I have been told by my wife that the TV is not allowed to be on, and I am not to watch the game.

My parents will be coming over, as well as Phanatic and his family.

And Phanatic and I will be watching the game, wife be damned.
The drawback to marital longevity is your wife always knows when you're really interested in her and when you're just trying to bury it.

My wife asked me at dinner tonight how many people were coming over to watch the Eagles.  I have to say I was a bit stunned.  I figured I'd get the evil-eye if I even suggested it and here she does it for me.

:yay

normally, i would warn you that she has other motives, but really whatever she wants is worth it when it comes to this
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

QB Eagles

I'll be back at my parents' place in suburban Philly, drinking some beers with my dad and watching the game. There will be absolutely no nagging by anyone because the Eagles are recognized as a high priority by my entire extended family, men and women alike.

Christmas dinner is traditionally not a big deal in my family, so that can easily be done before or after the game.

The only possible interruption is a medical emergency, since one of my family members is very ill.

I guess it boiled down to a choice between me going to a bar on Christmas night to watch the Eagles or staying home and watching them.  Again, surprisingly she chose the latter.

:-D


She also told me that she was planning on having dinner at around 2:00 PM instead of the usual 6:00 PM deal.  Great.  Now I have to go to the jewelry store.

The bad news is that you'll be spending the night outside. 

The good news is that Phanatic will have someone to snuggle with and keep warm.

By game time I'll probably be at my Dads. My stepmom's brother is the biggest Dallas fan on the planet, he even went as far as to name  his son 'Dallas'. farg Dallas.

This is the only time when living in England has its advantage--due to the time difference, it'll be 10pm over here when its on--Christmas dinner will already be digested.

sounds like a win-win situation to me.  watch the game and annoy the in-laws in the process, so what is the problem?

Feva

Christmas morning w/Mrs. Feva, L'il Feva and the in-laws.  Then off to my parents house, who I figure will be having dinner at about 2 or 3 that afternoon.  It should be a house full of people over there (cousins, aunts, nieces and nephews) which means a little before the game starts, it'll be too much noise for my dad and he'll retreat to his TV room... followed by me and my brother, and there I can feel free to scream at the TV as much as I need to... although I'll tone down the profanity with my dad around.

After that... depending on how the game goes, I'll either go with the wife and in-laws to visit other family or just take my ass home.

Ad much as I hate Dallas he's a good fan and aside from his choice of teams is a pretty good guy. Of course that all goes by the wayside once gametime rolls around - especially since my Dad, Uncle's, Aunt's, and cousins are all diehard Eagles fans.

I'll probably be sleeping off the Christmas grillout from the day before in 90 degree heat. :paranoid
