And the celebrations continue

Today was our department Christmas lunch and it was a good one. We had an Italian Christmas lunch with ziti, chicken parm, lasagna, sheet cake and salad. Let me tell you, you cannot go wrong with an Italian Christmas lunch. Everyone likes it and there is usually more than you need.

The biggest danger of Italian is that you might get some sauce on your shirt.

The Bruins are in a slump and I can't figure out why. They are playing good hockey and they are doing all the right things but they just can't seem to get the puck in the back of the net.

As things stand right now, they are still number two in the NHL but they are now 5 points behind the Capitals. It's going to be hard to overcome those 5 points but if they can get back on track, they can do it.

The Red Sox are starting make a few moves and I'm a little upset that they are not making any noise about Brock Holt.

I like Holt, he is a good hitter and he plays almost every position on the field except pitcher or catcher. He is also a great teammate who can fire up a team when they are struggling.

Unfortunately, I suspect that he will end up getting a nice little 4 year offer for at least $5, maybe even $10 million a year from some other team and the Red Sox will be a little less than they used to be.
