Does a World Series game count?

heh-heh-heh......great minds think alike, lol. Not COMPLETELY off the table ~ they said their gift budget isn't healthy enough to cover Play-offs AT THIS TIME...but if the WS is at Wrigley again, could encompass getting next years gift early to combine forces further so not COMPLETELY off the table!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

My son received his first Cubs jersey and promptly posted a picture of it on Twitter...where Willson Contreras retweeted it. I’m not sure what my boy was happier about - the jersey or the recognition from Willie! Made our day!

Awesome! How did Willy know he got the jersey?

He tagged Willie in the tweet.

I SAW that on twitter!!!!! Your DS is showing the back of his jersey , saying "Repping my boy! Best Christmas gift!"...right?
as a HUGE Willson fan( and fellow #40 jersey owner)...AAAWWWWYYYYEAAAAAHHHHHHHH! How cool is THAT!?!?!?!?!!? The #40 Jersey...a gift that keeps on giving!

I ordered my #40 last August (I think it was then) and he got injured the very same night. I felt a bit responsible as a jinx. Similar thing had happened with Soto ten years ago.

I really like Willie a lot. I think he could be a superstar.

Glad everyone’s having a great holiday. My young son and I just got back ourselves from D last week. Amazing weather. He wasn’t a FoP fan though.

Yep that’s him! That’s my boy repping his boy! Ha! I was (and still am) so happy for him.

Today's Chiberia wind chills were -30 but We Never Quit motto also applies to the construction crew at Wrigley (ets: this photo was from last week but the Wrigley Aerials pilot said the const crew WAS working yesterday!)

ETA: This pic was from day after Christmas, working at night

I'm just gonna leave this image here...a reminder of why summer in Chicago is so precious, lol...beside's the Cubs that is.

So lets talk about the blizzard of Jan 1967 or April 1970 (might have been Mar 1970). Got stuck in both of those for quite a while.

I didn't get stuck in those but had fun in the '67 one jumping off the roof into the snow, lol. The one I remember getting stuck in was in the early 80's after the St. Patricks Day parade. Took about 4 hours to get home. It wasn't even THAT much snow, but the tollway was gridlock. This was my son in the 2011 one~on top of the mailbox, lol

I remember walking on the school roof by climbing up a snow drift after the Jan 1967 blizzard. We got stuck in the snow in our school bus and didn't get home until we were rescued by a snow plow around midnight.
