~:[CH7 - Day 357]:~ The Search for Magic
Santa photo bombed out picture and there was a little bit of bah humbug in him today. I never knew he was a Cardinals fan and no, I'm not a Rams fan either, but when we discussed trying to catch one more came in the season and also seeing some UC-alum, it ended up that the closest game would be in Arizona, so we decided, let's do it! Eight weeks removed from the last game we all ran into each other, we actually did it. We drove out early in the morning to Arizona and ventured through a beautiful stadium and caught a game at a great value at that! There were Rams fans around, but I was pretty impressed at how good of a turnout they had despite their miserable season (of course, they did beat my team this year). I also enjoy how supportive they were for one of their players, Fitzgerald who declared that he would retire as a Cardinal and his loyalty to them was seen through their loyalty to him as they cheered "Larry, Larry" and the like. Would his 15th season be his last? Who knows, but if it is, they would have sent him off with a memorable one, including a touchdown pass on a trick play. Regardless, this long one day trek for a football game was a little crazy, but was worth every moment we spent together. I was a little worried on how it would all turnout, but in the end, it was amazing. As while the magic of Christmas was not found in Santa today, it was found in the ability to take another opportunity presented and make it into another unforgettable memory. Most people would not take on this journey, yet most don't believe in magic either. Little do they know that it's all too real; just ask Santa.
