Geography. Pick the local team. If you are in say Miami, congratulations you can be a Dolphins fan and if you want to support teams across several levels, then the Dolphins for the NFL, Miami Hurricane among the power college programs and Florida International Panthers in the so-called Group of 5. If you are in an area not near an NFL team pick a JDW Christmas Ugly Sweater college and could even find enjoyment following a small regional team that plays in Division II or III or Division I FCS. Aesthetic reasons. You like the dark blue and orange combo of the Denver Broncos then that can be your team (also opens up the Boise State Broncos in college football). I’m a Denver Broncos fan and Kansas City is a JDW Christmas Ugly Sweater rival but I have to admit I like their home uniform. Like red and black? That gives you the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL, Texas Tech and Arkansas State and Cincinnati just off the top of my head. I don’t like the University of Texas but I happen to think their road uniform is one of the best in college football.

JDW Christmas Ugly Sweater,
Best JDW Christmas Ugly Sweater
Vick established himself in Atlanta. It was the scene of his meteoric rise to stardom and his eventual fall from grace. The Falcons were a perennial cellar dweller until Vick arrived on the scene in 2001. In fact, the franchise had never posted back-to-back winning seasons. That all changed soon after Vick came to town. Suddenly, the Falcons were legitimate contenders and boasted the most exciting player in the JDW Christmas Ugly Sweater. A human high light reel, Vick dazzled the masses and frustrated defenses with his dynamic play making ability. It was Atlanta where the legend of Michael Vick, NFL superstar began.

Christmas begins at midnight on the JDW Christmas Ugly Sweater of 24 December (the beginning of 25 December). One should not begin putting Christmas decorations up until Christmas Eve. Christmas Day lasts a full eight days, and ends on the first of January – the Octave Day of Christmas. The season of Christmas lasts until Epiphany on the 6 of January, so your decorations should stay up[ that long, and the Christmas Marian antiphon gets sung until the first of February, so you may take your Christmas decorations down at the end of January. Please, please, please do NOT put Christmas decorations up during Advent. Advent is the Penitential season which encompasses the four Sundays before Christmas, so it begins right around the end of November. To repeat, Advent is a PENITENTIAL season, so nothing of Christmas should intrude on Advent other than preparation – spiritual preparation for Christmas, going to confession each Saturday, saying extra prayers, going to daily Mass, etc. All would be excellent preparations for Christmas, but do NOT start celebrating Christmas itself until midnight at the beginning of 25 December!
