Every year, since 1983, Mom always bought me a Rams calendar, for the coming year, for Christmas. In recent years, she started buying calendars for my two boys also (Ravens for my oldest / Jags for the young one). Gotta keep that going so I will be buying three calendars every year!
Mom used to even send them in care packages when I was in the USAF. Ironically, my Mom HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATED football with a passion! I MEAN HATED IT!!! But she still always knew what it meant to me.
