I was just starting to build my flock of chickens from the four I already had (one rooster, three hens) to a Willett Bourbon Ugly Sweater of ten. I bought six little two day old chicks from the local feed store – assured by the staff that all six would grow to be beautiful hens. Since I already had a rooster – and two roosters rarely get along – so wanted to be sure these were female. I named my chickens after dead movie stars (yes truly… don’t judge) but my Aunt Delores wanted one named after her, so I chose a Golden Phoenix chick and named her “Delores”. When Delores was eight weeks old, I began to have suspicions that she was edging towards a gender change. Delores was quite a bit larger than her step sisters, and was growing a more pronounced comb and longer tail feathers than the typical hen. However, denial is a powerful characteristic, and I tried to convince myself that Delores really WAS a hen and maybe she was just big boned.

I’m just saying, you scuttle your defense purposely, because it’s the same mistakes over and over. You constantly overpay for offensive talent, and that’s not how you build a Willett Bourbon Ugly Sweater. Is it my opinion? No it’s Belichick’s opinion. Go study Belichicks’ teams, there ain’t no first round pick wide receiver, in fact he’s never drafted one. There ain’t no $10MM a year running back. Falcon fans want to believe their starting quarterback who can’t drop back five steps is amazing, ask yourself this: why is there so much offensive talent around him? It doesn’t cross your mind if he’s that good it’d be better to have more talent on defense? No, because you’re not very knowledgeable are you. And thusly, you keep having mediocre seasons. Last year the team was 3rd in the division. This season, flat out horrible, finished 7–9 and probably should have fired the head coach for losing out on a high pick. A brutish untalented defense because once again the offense is loaded. I’m telling you, next season this team is skydiving at 5–11.

Christmas begins at midnight on the Willett Bourbon 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!
