Packer-Viking Playoff Game

It's this Saturday, which just so happens to be the same day as Christmas for my dad's side of the family.  Late...I know.

But here's the deal: my grandma(who everyone spoils, I mean it.  She can absolutely do no wrong in the eyes of all of her kids.  It's actually really annoying, not because she is nasty or mean or anything, but because any decision that we've made as a family regarding holidays are subject to her veto, essentially) doesn't want to leave the farm so we can watch the game, but wants to listen to it on the radio(as long as we can get it) at the farm.  This might not seem like that big of deal, but this is a woman who hasn't missed a Packer game all year.  Yet, now, she thinks that the 40 of us, including two infants, are going to be quiet enough so that she can listen to the game...yeah, right.

We are all Packer fans(with the exception of two: my uncle and his son) and I, living in Minnesota, do not get the chance to watch all the games and now, when the game actually has meaning and I would have access, I can't watch it?  Doesn't seem right.

This may sound petty, but I like watching these games and I want to watch the playoff game.  And so do most of the 40 people who will be at the celebration this Saturday.
