December 23 is a special day for many reasons.
This year, it falls just two days before the opening of the World Juniors instead of the typical three (the tournament usually begins on Boxing Day).
And, in the wake of Calgary’s most recent blizzard, maybe some of us could eventually look back at Dec. 23, 2020 as the day we finally realized just how much fun it can be to stay at home and wear a warm mask in public during a deadly pandemic.
Sorry, I think that might have been a grievance slipping out… which leads me to the most important reason to cherish every December 23: the annual celebration of Festivus is upon us!
