However, the holiday season, to many, offers an opportunity to, at least temporarily, reverse these trends, as family and friends come together to celebrate life in the old fashioned way by eating, drinking, and being merry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In the Keyser household, things went more or less as planned. Despite some non-serious but still quite painful medical issues, I had a great time. My family made what has somehow become our traditional Christmas dish: Rouladen. I got a nifty winter hat, and my mom got framed my Opa\u2019s old collection of vintage stamps. We watched, of all things, the old USA Network show Psych. <\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But there was one tradition I was looking forward to just as much as any other: waking up today, Boxing Day, and watching the Premier League. My brother and I both love football, so we typically spend the whole day watching it together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE GAME, AND IT\u2019S AT 3:00 PM. GRRRRRRR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I know, it\u2019s on a Friday which makes the scheduling weird, but why not move more of the Saturday and Sunday games?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">No news today.
