A Historic Holiday: Near-Record Warmth, Other Christmas Memories

I don’t know about you, but there’s one thing that I will definitely remember about Christmas 2019: the warm weather!

OK, so two things…the smile on my kids’ faces when they walked downstairs on Christmas morning…and the weather!

It turned out to be the second warmest Christmas EVER!

Today was the Second Warmest Christmas on record with a high of 62° in Joliet. #ilwx pic.twitter.com/ZUhDIVsR5b

The other traumatic event of the holiday season is when I nearly killed my son and I because I was “Christmasing too hard.”

From my Facebook page:

Dr.: So explain why you and your son have concussions.

Me: Well, what had happened was, I was holding my son while rocking out to the Jose Feliciano holiday classic Feliz Navidad. Whilst dancing, I made the mistake of gliding onto the wood floor. And before I can wish you another Merry Christmas, I fell like a freshly cut Christmas tree. Not my proudest moment.

My kids really made this the best Christmas ever. I hope you enjoyed it as well, and here’s wishing you a fantastic 2020!
