A bit early I know.... but Merry Christmas everyone!!!

To the 2 winged loopers, one winged backhand or forehand smashes and even you darkside users... We love to hate!.

Merry Christmas 🤶 

All the best this Christmas.

Cheers

Twas the night before Christmas
And not a single ball was bouncing
Not a sound could be heard
Not even Bobrow announcing.

The rackets were stored in cases with care
In hopes it would keep out oxidizing air.
The players were are snuggled in their beds
While dreams of loopkills danced in their heads.

Players of long and inverted and me with short pip
Were just settling in after our long US Open trip.
When out on the court there rose such a clatter
I sprang up and went to see what was a matter.

Away to the court I flew in a blinding flash
Grabing a paddle if something I needed to smash.
Suddenly the room was 800 lumens bright
And I blinked trying to regain my sight.

When what to my wondering eyes did appear
A umpire and 8 men in playing gear.
Seven strong loopers and 1 modern defender
All wanting to be more than a contender.

When the playing was finally done
And the best of them had won
I was saddened as the room went dark.
But their play had left me an inspirational spark.

I heard the umpire's voice out of the night
"Merry Christmas to all and to all good ball flight"

Merry Christmas

From a small child up to this moment I have always asked myself : Why we are celebrating The Born of Jesus at 25th December. If you ask some priest When Jesus was born? I doubt he will reply with 25th December. 
Celebrating 25th December is kind of occultism, no? 
Nowhere in the Holy bible is written that Jesus was born on 25th December and all about this celebration sounds very very strange to me...

Anyway, happy holidays to all of you!

It’s a matter of convention, if the grinch finally liked it, I bet you do too already. 

Tomorrow morning we open gifts and I feel very happy Xmas eve was warm and happy at my house with the same usual crowd. Tomorrow we’ll eat leftovers from the most important meal of the year.

To all those who also celebrate it, Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas! Just given away about 2 dozen inverted rubbers brand new (from AlexLi) and about 4 dozen short and long pip rubbers + a dozen carbon blades (from Playing4fun) to 6 clubs and about 2 dozen individuals.
