Ohhhh, you sneaky Flames fan! Not that you didn't warn me...

I was laying on my deck today, soaking in the rays when the postie came. I scrambled to put on some clothes and signed for the package.

I was wary when opening up the package due to some ominous hints sent by my hockeysanta. A couple key quotes from messaging back and forth include

"...I'm still not entirely sure what to get you, but I expect it will contain a lot of red/orange, and very little blue/green. With any luck, I will convert you by the time this is done."

and

"Don't fight it, just let it happen."

as well as

"Your gift is shipped. As promised, it includes my attempt at converting you to a Flames fan. But failing that, I included a special Canucks gift set that was specially designed with the Canucks fan in mind. I hope you enjoy it all!"

WELL. Let me tell you... he wasn't kidding.

I ripped that sucker open and starting laughing and laughing.

Disclaimer: Canucks didn't make the playoffs so all I can do during playoff time is drink and cry so naturally I was sitting on my sundeck tanning (SUCK ON THAT ALBERTA!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA) when I was opening my package.

I was laughing because I was probably (I was) drunk. What did I find, you ask? Well, I found a crap load of Calgary gear as well as something else...

The something else wasn't quite what I was expecting. What I was expecting was a golf kit. You know, tees, balls, ball markers, that kinda thing. What I found was much more appropriate. You see, I mentioned that I have a sense of humour about my team and my Santa delivered. Santa sent me a baby kit. By that I mean he sent me a soother, baby bottle, and baby bib. I understand that to other teams Canucks fans seem like a bunch of whiney, whinging, asshole, poorsport, crybabies. This may be true. I won't admit it, though. Never.

I will admit... the gift made me laugh!

Jerkface...

I also received a Calgary Flames sweatshirt, keychain and coffee mug. I grudgingly admit that I'm going to make use of all three, especially the sweatshirt. It's a really nice sweatshirt. It looks good on me.

Damnit.

Thanks, Santa! If I ever decide to switch teams, I pinkyswear I will deeply consider the Flames!
