Steelers lost to the Browns!!??!!

Just when I thought our season could not get worse, IT DID!!!!!

How do you lose to the 3 WORST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE IN ONE SEASON!!??!!

I was terribly disappointed watching last night's game, and though I still have a small sliver of hope- it looks like the Steelers playoff hopes are in the gutter.

Unless the Ravens continue to slip and the Steelers have a huge new wind in their last 3 games, it looks like they will not make it past December.

Let's hope for the best (but possibly expect the worse). I love my team but they are starting to annoy me- I will stay loyal.

GO STEELERS!!!!

Christmas at my house

Last week I detailed what we do at my house for Thanksgiving so this week I am going to let you in on what we like to do for Christmas.

My family has always celebrated the holiday more so on Christmas Eve than Christmas Day. We all meet up at my grandma's house for dinner around 5:30 pm. It is a very traditional New Mexican menu: posole, chicos, red chile, tamales, and tortillas usually.

After dinner, we all just like to socialize. Sometimes, we will drive around town to see the lights. Then, around 8 pm, we open gifts.

After opening gifts, there is more family time. Then (on most years) we head to midnight mass. After this we all head home, where we open gifts that were not taken to my grandma's house.

On Christmas Day, my mom usually will cook a ham and/or a turkey and all that goes with it. It is a day of relaxation and family time as well.

Christmas is my favorite holiday not because of the gifts but because it brings my family together.
