This one's for you.

There are 65 days left until Christmas. And thus begins the Christmas Countdown. Yes, I'm opposed to pre-Thanksgiving outward manifestations of said holiday, such as Christmas music and decorations, but I'm not against thinking about it. For my lovely readers, especially those who are personally acquainted with this festive obsession of mine, I plan on periodically revisiting past Christmas highlights in preparation for the coming holidays (hooray!!!!!).

This one's from Christmas Eve, 2005:

Some day, when I have my own kids, I hope that Burke will be so dedicated an uncle as to teach my kids the Peoples' Elbow, just like he did for Nate. Nothin' like teaching a 2 year-old some WWF moves:

Please note the crazed look on Uncle Burke's face above, and the entirely pleased look on Dad/Scott's face below, which clearly says, "That's my boy!"

P.S. Mr. Black decided that he would like his identity revealed. It's Ben Peterson, in case you hadn't already figured that out. He also decided that he would like me to tell you all that he's awesome.
