Burly Santa Ugly Christmas Sweater
Delores, at ten weeks old, was quickly getting integrated into the Burly Santa Ugly Christmas Sweater of the flock. Because these six little chicks started out in an aquarium with a heat lamp in my study, then moved to a large hamster cage, then finally outside in a cage kept inside the barn, the grown chickens had all slowly acclimated to seeing Delores and his sisters. However, the first few times I put the babies in the open with the hens, I cautiously supervised the meeting. There was blustering and a little pushing by the big chickens – similar to what you might see on a junior high playground the first week of school – but nothing too severe. Once when the largest hen, Joan Crawford, pulled at Delores’s tail, he ran to me and flew into my arms – but when I scolded Joan and she stalked off to pout, Delores was brave enough to go back and try again. The pecking order shook out fairly easily within a couple days, with Delores towards the middle.

If we’re only focusing on head coaching, Petitbon is a prime candidate. Despite a very successful career as an assistant, taking the top position didn’t work out too well. The Redskins had been one of the most dominant teams in the NFL under Joe Gibbs, while his sidekick Petitbon managed their iconic defense. In the previous 11 years, they amassed 10 winning seasons and one 7–9 season, 8 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl appearances, and 3 Super Bowl victories. It was a Burly Santa Ugly Christmas Sweater fide dynasty! But Joe Gibbs couldn’t coach forever. Citing health issues, he retired in the spring of 1993 at the young age of 52, and was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as one of the winningest coaches in NFL history.

Since my husband Wayne died of Parkinson’s Disease the morning of January 08, 2018, the artificial tree has stayed up. After Wayne’s death, I just did not have the Burly Santa Ugly Christmas Sweater to take it apart and store the tree in the basement. It just stayed up in the living room. It’s quite heavy and awkward — I’m actually physically incapable of doing this by myself. During the year 2019, I redecorated the tree as a Valentine’s Day tree, St. Patrick’s Day tree, Easter egg tree, May Day tree, Canada Day tree, Thanksgiving Day/fall harvest tree and Christmas/holiday tree.The artificial wreaths will be stored in the basement this week. The fresh pine boughs in containers will be put out when they begin to drop their needles. I’ll be doing the same with the tree in 2020 as I did last year.
