In sports, TCU continues preparations
for the College Football Playoff.
A week from today, the Horned Frogs
take on Michigan in the semifinals,
a New Year's Eve showdown from Glendale,
AZ, with a trip to the national
championship on the line.
Michigan is really good,
but they like to run the ball,
and TCU has seen a lot of that
from a couple of conference foes.
Their run first team,
we've played a couple of those.
Texas was run first,
Kansas State was run first,
really want to establish the run and then
they just got a really athletic quarterback.
I mean, he's probably just as athletic as.
I'd have said Kansas or Oklahoma
State quarterback that athletic level
but he can really throw the ball.
We're not really surprised by much anymore.
We already,
we already showed ourselves what we can do.
You know, you know through easy games,
through tough games.
We always,
we always kind of stay level headed.
You know,
everybody's pretty confident and
I feel like would be just fine.
And switching gears to the NFL,
in just hours, the Cowboys
will take the field against the
Philadelphia Eagles in a key rematch.
But have the boys been
naughty or nice this year?
Here's Marcus tuck.
Towards the night before Christmas and
all through Cowboys Nation, Dallas fans
were ready filled with anticipation.
Hosting the Eagles with revenge
on their mind needing a big win.
Playoff positioning on the line.
AT&T stadium. Festive rocking with applause.
A far cry from Philly.
Were they Boo Santa Claus? No.
This is North Texas, home of America's team.
What Cowboys fans want a long-awaited dream.
Beat those Eagles, then the Titans,
the commanders and more.
First the playoffs.
Then a championship.
Five titles we won.
More along awaited Lombardi.
These fans, they believe that the road to
the Super Bowl begins this Christmas Eve.
First up,
these Eagles wearing green like the Grinch,
knowing with the wind.
The NFC East they will clinch,
but not on our watch.
These Cowboys stand tall because the Eagles
Grinch Heart is 2 sizes too small now.
DAC now Zeke, Tony Pollard and CD on
Micah and Trevon getting defensive TD.
That's the game for which
these Dallas fans yearn.
And maybe, if we're lucky,
a big kevonte Turpin returned blitzes
in tackles, sacks, picks and more.
And on offense, huge plays.
Score, score, score.
Dear Santa,
this year our ASK is quite simple.
Coal in the stockings of
all the Philly faithful.
A win for these fans,
1/4 century aboard victory.
Christmas Eve would be quite the reward.
So when the children nuzzle snug
in their beds with visions of Super
Bowls dancing in their heads,
and while we hang those stockings
by the chimney with care,
our hope this year Saint Nick,
if you dare, a Christmas Eve win,
would have us rejoice saying Merry Christmas.
To all and how about those Cowboys?
Still ahead? Looking for some
last minute Christmas gifts?
We've got you covered with some ideas
that will also inspire Wellness.
Looking to give the gift of Wellness
this holiday? I got you covered.
Here are my top picks in no particular order.
Books are always a safe bet.
One of the most memorable and
practical from a Wellness perspective
is called Voices of Aging.
It's a quick read by a local woman,
Missy Buchanan, and why I love it
is because it breaks down topics
from money to memories, stress,
and the holidays through the lens of
an adult child and an aging parent.
Reading this really helped me to see
life through the lens of my parents.
I think it's a must read for all
of us and if your loved ones enjoy
spending time in the kitchen,
try a cookbook.
The defined dish by Alex Snodgrass
is whole 30 endorsed and a very
popular with the gluten free,
dairy free, grain free crowd.
Alex is a lifelong Texan and a
mother and she says after baby #2
this way of eating really helped
her physically and mentally.
You can pair a cookbook with
an exotic ingredient.
And one of the recipes like turmeric and
voila, a super thoughtful 2IN1 gift.
OK, sticking with the kitchen theme,
y'all truff is the stuff. Trust me.
Just tried this for the first time.
It's truffle infused olive oil.
It is delicious.
They have a gift set of truffle
infused olive oil, pasta sauce,
hot sauce, you got to run, don't walk.
And Speaking of walking or running
or just working out in general,
2 gifts come to mind first.
At home equipment.
So like a set from power hands.
This comes with sliders and resistance bands.
Very useful.
Or maybe online subscriptions because
who wouldn't want a month of online or
even in studio yoga or Pilates classes.
And if you need something quick or
last minute subscriptions or gift
cards or simple and very appreciated.
Maybe for a healthy meal delivery service
like refuel or self-care treatment.
I really love the Cherry app
where you book A Manny petty.
And the nail tech comes to your house.
This is from an SMU graduate by the way.
OK, finally,
since we have self-care on the mind,
don't sleep on these stocking stuffers.
Dry bars, triple SEC.
That's for a little hair refresh.
Better than dry shampoo, travel size.
Must have a jade roller and wash saw.
So I bought this rose quartz set for myself.
Less than 20 bucks.
Merry Christmas to me.
You cool these things in the fridge
and then use them on the face,
the eyes,
the neck for a little massage for puffy.
Eyes are just to look refreshed on
little sleep and this new line from
nude envy is all clean, cruelty free,
gluten free makeup and nail polishes
for the conscious consumer.
So that's it. Happy holidays.
Good luck.
