The Kickoff definitely trumps Christmas/Chanukah or my birthday. I can never really think of things I would want (with the exception of my laptop last year) for those occasions, but I always look forward to the games, hoping they’ll be better and better. To me, there’s nothing more exciting than seeing the black curtains come down exposing the new field/game (and I’ve only seen it via webcast/telecast, never live). That moment has been my Christmas for the past 5 years, and will be again this year.
