Well, it’s holiday season, and the Philadelphia Eagles have done all that they can to wreck your holiday cheer. It’s okay. We feel it too. Still, there’s much to be thankful for. Unfortunately, the joy we all had at season’s start has been replaced by bad play calling, a three-game losing streak and self-destruction. We all love football, but the holidays are a time to remind us that there are more important things in life.

Wait a minute. Who are we kidding? It’s football season. For the love of our favorite sport and our favorite teams we’ll take days off, call in sick or trade days off with one of our colleagues. As shopping lists are prepared and we recover from another “Black Friday”, our thoughts have shifted from tangible gifts for ones that all Eagles fans can benefit from. We present our version of an old holiday classic, “The 12 Days of Christmas”. Names have been changed in some instances to protect people who are innocent and people who are guilty.

There’s nothing left to be said. Let’s begin.
