12th Man Tree

This is our 12th Man Christmas Tree in the rec room.

  We have both Seattle Seahawks ornaments and Detroit Lions ornaments.
                                           

We have the old Seahawks colours.

The new Lions logo.

Every year we get a different ornament to add to the tree.

This icicle actually lights up with different colours when you turn it on.

And I didn't make these Seahawks pictures blurry on purpose, Steve!

I just don't know what mode to use on my camera to take pictures of the ornaments without the flash showing up in them!

And this is our big reward for being season ticket holders this year!

Woohoo!  We got a card!  Okay, in all fairness there was an ornament in with it too.  You can see it in the first picture of the ornaments.  We used to get a $100.00 gift card to spend at the Pro Shop.  But I know, times are tough for the NFL. (sniff!sniff!)
The sad part is I was still so excited to get the card yesterday.  At least it showed they didn't completely forget about us!

So, that's a peek at our 12th man Christmas tree and now.......

That's right, a picture of Fred!!

And now to answer the burning question.....if Steve has been a Seahawks fan for over 25 years, why do we have season tickets to the Lions!  It's because Seattle is a 5 1/2 hour flight away and Detroit is a 2 1/2 hour drive not to mention the cost!  Steve flew to Seattle once for a game at Quest Field. ( An anniversary present from me about 8 years ago).  That was his one time dream.  So now we just drive to Detroit, at least it's live football!
