Many, like me, were driving from the Chicago area to central Illinois for Christmas. The family closest to the scene took everyone into their home.

In Japan, Christmas is a festival of shopping and ornamentation, with perhaps a trip to KFC thrown in. Mostly, though, it’s considered a holiday for romance.

They signed Mitch Moreland to a two-year deal because he’s played in Boston before and they were comfortable with him in the clubhouse. Читать дальше...
