cmh6476 1,023 Posted April 22, 2007 after seeing my thread asking for the houstor geeks to cater to me when the chiefs come to town, cdub calls me and offers this: He would pick me up from the airport, let me crash at his place, and find us tix to the Lions/ Chiefs game The catch was going to be when the Lions come to town, then I did the same for him (which I would) except he thought we might have played the same division 2 years in a row (hom then away) but I told him it wouldnt be for like 4 more years till detroilet comes to KC But anyways, he agreed anyways and the only problem is, the game is on fockin Dec. 23 so now I have to negotiate with the wifey and I suggested someone was willing to do this for me (which she kinda understood as cdub has sent me sh!t including shirts (a red wings shirt in fact she wore in the deliver of our first for some reason and asked again to take it with us for the 2nd) a calendar and even beer. So at least she knows he's a real person. But she's concerned that what if there is an awful snow storm and I get snowed in my son's 1st christmas? Plus it is kinda nice to spend the extra holiday tiome off with the wife and fam and stuff, I understand that. So I ask you geeks, am i bein a poosay for not takin him up on it or would your wife be not to understanding either? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TommyGavin 790 Posted April 22, 2007 dont go - be with your family for the holidays. If it wasnt the LIONS I'd say that'll suck to go all that way-be away from your family only to see a loss - but it is the LIONS so thats not the case. Dont go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My second suggestion is that you should be grateful that you even have a wife and child. Only a loser would abandon them at the holidays. What a preposterous notion that you would leave your family during the holidays like this for something as irrelevant and utterly inconsequential as a pitiful football game. Both you and your family have a lot more to gain from you staying home. In fact, you should give up on football entirely and find out how much nicer life is when you spend all that time doing something productive with your family rather than lying around watching millionaires play a game together.

Big_Pete 0 Posted April 22, 2007 I partially agree with TG. Don't go, cause it's only the Lions. It's not like you're going to see the Colts or a division rival. But I also say don't go cause there will probably be a decent chance of snow storms, and even if you don't get stuck there over christmas, it's never fun bundling everyone up to pick daddy up from the airport when it's all cold and snowy outside. Stay home, enjoy your kids 1st christmas, make it a fun holliday. I could only assume cdub will understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jocstrap 8 Posted April 22, 2007 You must pick a choose battles. Your wife would bring this up the rest of your marriage saying how you missed your childs 1st Christmas. You do not want to hear this for 20 years do you? This is one of those things that would never be forgiven. Don't Go - it's an easy choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fumbleweed 543 Posted April 23, 2007 I think the right choice is to be home around Christmas if at all possible. It's a special time when you have kids....even really little ones. I don't think you'll want to miss it. JMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Groundhog 24 Posted April 23, 2007 cmh, you should go to the game. First of all, there's an excellent chance you'll be home before Xmas Day anyway. Secondly, the kid is only a year old, right? It's not like he's going to remember you were there or not. But be prepared for at least 6 months of nasty comments from the wife if god forbid you miss Xmas.

Jessy 0 Posted April 23, 2007 I'm confused. you cant just fly back christmas eve or late that night? No kidding. I don't see any reason you can't do both. Get a flight back that night or on Christmas Eve early in the morning. A snowstorm is possible, but the last several years around the upper Midwest all I hear around Christmas time is that, "There's no snow! We aren't going to have a white Christmas!" Boo-freakin'-hoo. I really wouldn't worry about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted April 23, 2007 Time to be a big boy, Chad. You are an adult now. Forget the peer pressure and realize that you have responsibilities. I don't care if it is his 1st X-mas or his 14th. The holidays are a time for family. We are talking about a football with 2 teams that will be all but done by the time the game happens. This game is probably on the schedule as being one of the worst games of the week. If it was the SB, I might tell you differently, but this one is a no-brainer. BTW - awfully nice of cdub to put you up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNewGirl 1,480 Posted April 23, 2007 So, you're asking us... If we think it's okay that you will miss your son's first Christmas so you can go to a game?! Even though he won't remember it, it's okay? Maybe it's not about HIM remembering it, but about YOU and your wife remembering it. It's a time/moment that you will never catch again. And if you feel the same way about a stupid game, and that it's a moment that you will never catch again, your priorities are more focked up than I thought they were.

jerryskids 6,779 Posted April 23, 2007 Alright Chad, this has been touched upon, but... Christmas is a season, not just a day. I don't think the issue is so much that you might miss the day because of weather; that seems unlikely. The issue is that you will be away from your family on the 23rd and possibly part of the 24th. That is the weekend just before the big day, and you'll be both enjoying it and frantically preparing for a day your child will never remember. But it is not about him per se, it is about the rest of your family. Don't go. Thread ovah. HTH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
