It was Christmas Eve, and we were preparing for our latest tradition — the Hartman Christmas Eve Open House.
With a list of guests all about to cross the threshold into BTSC headquarters, I was getting prepared for the festivities. As I got changed, one of my daughters came into the room and saw me putting on a brand new Steelers sweatshirt a student of mine gave me for Christmas.
“Why are you wearing that?! Didn’t the Steelers lose yesterday?”
“They did lose, but it doesn’t mean I still don’t love this team.”
This was an important lesson for my daughter, but also for me.
