Merry Christmas to All

From all of us here at Ultimate Boston, we'd like to wish our readers a very happy and safe holiday weekend. Sure, it's a little bit lame that Christmas is on a Saturday -- worst case scenario for the working man -- but we'll take it with a grain of salt and enjoy the season regardless. I wouldn't expect that you'd be spending your Christmas time on Ultimate Boston anyway -- but if you were planning to, I believe our writers will remain on break for a little while. You might see an occasional one, but consider the blog to be in a mini hibernation mode. But, by all means, at those family gatherings for the holidays -- show your relatives, their friends, their dogs, their grandmothers, and anyone else who might be in attendance. We're looking to come out of the holiday break with a bang. The ULTY Awards will be distributed and the Boston sports seasons will kick it into gear. The Pats will head to the playoffs in search of their fourth ring in a decade's span. The B's and C's will look to enter the meat of their schedules and establish their dominance in their respective conferences. And hey -- in just a few months, pitchers and catchers will report to Fort Myers. There's plenty to smile about this time of year, so keep your chins high and your grins wide. Merry Christmas from Ultimate Boston!
