Good morning to all! It’s Christmas time in the Bluegrass and fans around the Commonwealth are emerging from the deep freeze today to spend time with family, friends and loved ones.
The Kentucky Wildcats basketball and football teams are both looking to end 2022 on a high note. The football Cats had a very solid end to national signing day with a strong finish to the recruiting cycle. They landed some big pieces in the portal as well. Now they are focusing on Iowa for the Music City Bowl.
The basketball Cats have been a shaky product. While able to beat all the teams they were expected to beat, they have just one win over a Power Five opponent. With disappointing outings against Michigan State, Gonzaga and UCLA, they now look to defeat a good Missouri team on the road and a disastrous Louisville team at home.
And now, just because, my top ten favorite Christmas songs:
- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen- Barenaked Ladies
- Run Run Rudolph- Chuck Berry
- O Come All Ye Faithful- Bing Crosby
- Christmas in Hollis- RUN DMC
- Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Live)- Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
- Sleigh Ride- The Ronnettes
- Jingle Bells- Frank Sinatra
- Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer- Dean Martin
- Someday at Christmas- Stevie Wonder
- Wonderful Christmastime- Paul McCartney
Tweets of the Day
God bless all the road crews and utility people working hard on Christmas Eve to make sure the roads are clear and the power is on for the holidays. Here’s hoping things gets warmer and and the conditions clear up so they can get home to their families and enjoy Christmas.
