a]:text-blue-mid [&>a]:no-underline [&>a]:hover:shadow-lightmode px-5 sm:px-4 font-medium”>I’m also big on traditions and family and, more often than not, have been the one pressuring others to keep it going. I’m not going to pick apart your claim that December is freezing, but I do think you should go to the game, regardless. The fact that the team is terrible, in some ways, could make the family time a bit more enjoyable.
a]:text-blue-mid [&>a]:no-underline [&>a]:hover:shadow-lightmode px-5 sm:px-4 font-medium”>Oh, we disagree. Fun!

-
Go to a Flyers game (great idea, Jason).

Hot yoga.

a]:text-blue-mid [&>a]:no-underline [&>a]:hover:shadow-lightmode px-5 sm:px-4 font-medium”>See this is where we differ — I celebrate Groundhog Day at this bar in the NE that honors the day (and this was a big family tradition of mine growing up).
a]:text-blue-mid [&>a]:no-underline [&>a]:hover:shadow-lightmode px-5 sm:px-4 font-medium”>Still, if everyone else is going and you’re bowing out, you’ll catch some heat.
a]:text-blue-mid [&>a]:no-underline [&>a]:hover:shadow-lightmode px-5 sm:px-4 font-medium”>Yeah, family is everything.

a]:text-blue-mid [&>a]:no-underline [&>a]:hover:shadow-lightmode px-5 sm:px-4 font-medium”>Okay, maybe, go to the game, find cheap seats (people will be selling), dress warm (break out those old 90s turtlenecks, they’re so warm), spend a lot of time at the well-heated stadium bar with that family member you love and never see, create classic holiday memories you’ll carry forever, and don’t listen to the wimpy Inquirer reporter who told you stay home. Go B-I-R-D-S!!!!!
a]:text-blue-mid [&>a]:no-underline [&>a]:hover:shadow-lightmode px-5 sm:px-4 font-medium”>That’s it, yes. I think you should go to the game. Boo the team. Crack open an $18 beer. Leave at halftime if you want, who knows. Maybe you’ll see a great game.
a]:text-blue-mid [&>a]:no-underline [&>a]:hover:shadow-lightmode px-5 sm:px-4 font-medium”>Boom. Just make the long lost relative shell out for the beer!
a]:text-blue-mid [&>a]:no-underline [&>a]:hover:shadow-lightmode px-5 sm:px-4 font-medium”>Go Birds!
