There is a good chance that Santa, harboring a forty-year grudge over one teensy little incident with a few well-packed snowballs, will be skipping over the homes of Philadelphia sports fans this Christmas. But just because Santa has given up on Philly fans doesn’t mean that they are lacking in Christmas spirit. How else do you explain the array of holiday decorations available to them?
Sports widows, your days of trying to figure out how you can make your home a Philadelphia wonderland this Christmas are over. Your neighbors will thank you for packing your lawn full of these light-up football players, especially when paired with the window decorations to match. Don’t forget to complete the look by adorning your door with a Phillies wreath. “Tis the season to prepare for Spring Training”.
Inside your home, the magical glow from the Philadelphia Eagles Christmas Village will make you feel like you are right there watching the game all season long. It comes with a free Santa figurine, but the tiny little snowballs for the miniature fans to pelt at him are sold separately.
For the Philadelphia sports fan’s Christmas tree, there is a fine assortment of ornaments available that go just perfectly with the Flyers tree skirt. No need for a star; just top your tree with a giant foam finger and call it a day.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, sports widows. With these decorations, the fan in your life will feel like a kid again and who knows? Maybe Santa will change his mind and pay you a visit after all.
