Another Christmas Update

Hi everybody,

Just thought I would share some more Christmas pictures.  This is just before we started eating our Christmas feast.  We had turkey breast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole (I didn't try that), corn muffins and crescent rolls.  The food was delicious and we all ate lots.

Christmas Update

Hi everybody,

Hope you all are having a fun Holiday Season!  I thought I would share some pictures.  My friends came over on Christmas day to hang out.  We started off by opening presents:

Awesome Chase calendar!

2011 Phillies Yearbook DVD (at least the regular season was fun)

I got me a cool chopper!

My friends got a little carried away when they were opening some of their gifts!

 After I got out of that predicament, I opened more gifts:

I got a dog!  My friends said his name is Jingle but I think I'll call him Bob.

I even got an ice cream maker!  Can't wait to make root beer floats!

Here's some stuff from my stocking...time for thumb wrestling.

Bacon!!!  I'll definitely share this stuff with my friends...well, maybe not the toothpaste.

 And finally, the greatest gift of all:

An autographed picture of Chase!!  My friends said, and I quote: "This was really hard to create...uh...'er, get for you".  I really appreciate it!  I'll probably have more updates and pictures to follow.

The Five Worst Christmas Songs

Hi everybody,

I love listening to Christmas songs this time of the year.  I enjoy most of them but there are a few I really don't like.  So I decided to list the five songs I dislike the most!  I hope you don't like them as much as I don't.

1.  The Chipmunks Christmas song (Not even sure if that's the right name)

2.  Paul McCartney "Wonderful Christmas Time"  (Even thinking about this song makes me ill)

3.  "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" (I don't have any idea who sings it and I don't really care)

4.  George Michael "Last Christmas"  (ugh)

5.  The Peanuts "Christmas Time is Here" (That song is very depressing and I'm a happy guy)

6.  The Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping"  (I know I said five songs but I just remembered that one and had to add it)

Great Video Link

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to share a link that a friend from Twitter sent my way.  It is a YouTube video of my favorite baseball player of all time.  Can you guess who?  That's right....it's Chase Utley and his 2011 season highlights.  It is really cool and comes with a great bonus item that you all have to see!  Enjoy!!!

Christmas Eve Update

Hi everybody,

Hope you all are having a fun and stress free day!  I finally got finished wrapping my last presents.

With that out of the way, I decided to jump on the computer and check out the NORAD Santa site.  It sure is neat!  I wish that I had known about it when I was a little kid.

Christmas Cookies

Hi everybody,

Finally got around to making some Christmas cookies last night.

Hey look...there's my cat!

They sure taste great!  After baking was complete, I settled down to watch some old Christmas shows.

Always enjoy watching these classics.  Christmas wouldn't be the same if I didn't get to watch A Year Without a Santa Claus with the Miser Brothers.

Kickin' it Old School

Santa is takin' care of business in Paris

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to share a link to a fun site.  It is called NORAD Tracks Santa and on December 24th they have hourly video updates of Santa Claus travelling the globe delivering his presents.  I am going to definitely check it out between wrapping presents, making cookies and watching Christmas shows.  Here is the link:

My Birthday Party

Hi everybody,

Time to make a wish!

By pure coincidence, yesterday was my birthday too!  My friends were nice enough to make me a cake.  It was a Coca-Cola cake and it tasted really yummy.  I got an awesome balloon too!  They even sang to me but they told me I have to wait until Christmas day for my presents.  I'm not sure why I have to wait a week but I think I must be getting something cool.

mmmmm....cake!!!

Happy Birthday Chase

It's the birthday boy!

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to wish Chase a very Happy Birthday!!  Hope he's having a fun day with his wife and new baby!!!

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (12-14-11)

Hi everybody,

This week my friend sent me a picture to use as the photo of the week.  I'm not really sure why she picked this one.  He's not doing anything and you can't even see his face but she really seems to like it.  I hope you all enjoy it anyway.

Christmas Stocking

Hi everybody,

Hope everyone is having a great Holiday Season!  I decided to hang my Christmas Stocking today but unfortunately I had a little trouble....

Almost done

Whoops

I feel dizzy

I sorta straightened myself out

I could have been stuck hanging around all day.  Lucky for me, my friends were close by to give me a hand.  Next time, I think I'll ask one of them to hang it.

Letter to Santa (a.k.a. My Christmas Wishlist)

Got my milk and cookies!  I'm ready to write my list!!

Hi everybody,

I know I'm too old to write to Santa...that's for kids.  If I was to send him a letter, this is what I would ask for:

1.  To meet Chase!

2.  For the Phils to win the World Series in 2012, 2013, 2014...you get the idea!

3.  A Chase Utley home jersey!  (White jersey, red pinstripes)

4.  A Tony Lukes gift card!

5.  A variety case of root beer!

6.  2012 Phillies Video Yearbook!  ("Making History")

7.  A pound of Cactus Candy!  (I discovered that in Arizona)

8.  Phillies season tickets!

9.  An autographed picture of Chase!  I saw this in Center City:

Isn't it cool!!!

I guess that's it.  Oh yeah, I almost forgot.....world peace.

Congrats, Chase

Hi everybody,

That's a cute little guy but it's not their baby...that's a dog!!!

I just wanted to congratulate Chase & his wife Jen on the birth of their son Benjamin Cooper Utley on Friday, December 2nd.  I bet he will grow up to be a great baseball player just like his awesome Dad!!!

Christmas Tree

Hi everybody,

How is everybody's Holiday Season going?  Mine is going great!  I put up my Christmas tree last night and it wasn't easy.

Lucky for me, I have good friends who can help me out.

Especially to put the star on top!

It took us awhile to decorate the tree but it is now complete.  I am now really feeling the Christmas spirit.

I hope everyone who is putting up a Christmas tree has as much fun doing it as I did.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Hi everybody,

Pumpkin cheesecake...yummy!!!

Hope you all have had a good holiday weekend!  I spent Thanksgiving at friends eating lots of turkey with all the fixins.  It was great!  I wish I still had some more turkey left to eat.  I will have to make a turkey sometime before Christmas.  At least I still have some leftover pumpkin cheesecake to eat.  It is so good.  I will have to get the recipe for it....or just buy one at the store.  I will have to make sure I also get a regular pumpkin pie.  I'm craving one of them as well.

Also started my Christmas shopping.  I didn't go out on Black Friday because of the crowds plus I was too sleepy from the turkey but I did manage to hit the stores on Saturday.  Unfortunately, I had a little trouble with my bags when I got home....

I got a lot of shopping done but I still have much to do.  I am planning on setting up the Christmas tree next week and I have a lot of Christmas themed stuff planned for the blog so please keep checking in.
