Santa: What would you like for Christmas?
Dude: For the Bruins to win another Stanley Cup.

They are doing Christmas right. The scrooge in me says "good advertising/publicity stunt."

You know, that thought crossed my liitle mind, and who knows, maybe that did happen and it was just not aired?

Point being, all-in-all, it was a nice thing to do from my POV, and yeah, I could think publicity, attention gathering or whatever....

BUT, the little gal in me wants to think the best in people come out this time of year, so I will give them a thumbs up on this one.
