There will be an NFL Triple-header on Christmas (a Thursday)

[HT02]

I understand that things are different for every family and to some watching football will be welcome as reflected in some of the comments.   

 

For families who don't see each other often and want to spend time talking to each other and reflecting on why we are all together its a little disappointing to be forced to choose between one one of only 17 games (excluding play-offs) and social time with families and worship is unfortunate.  

 

There is a reason the NFL avoided Christmas day for years and I understand that times of changed, I just think one day isn't too much to ask.

Well, another way to look at it is you have two fun, enjoyable things to pick from. Just because you can’t have your cake and eat it too isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s all in how you choose to look at life.

The problem is the Christmas games are too secular. They need to call it the Jesus Bowl, have the refs dressed as Magi and have the players jump into a manger after TDs. 

 

Maybe get John Madden calling the game like Harry Caray did for baseball.

I think the point is that we should be able to enjoy one of 17 Bills games and spend a day with your family not glued to the TV.  I feel the same way and wish they'd ban football on Thanksgiving too.
