Where I Live

With the holidays so close at hand many of us are anticipating the arrival of family. Some family will arrive by plane, stay a day or two and fly back home. Some family will arrive by car and stay several days. Then there is the family that seems to arrive at Thanksgiving and leave after we begin using the new year’s calendar.

Of course I am exaggerating a bit, but it is important to have some activities planned that can get people out of the house for a few hours at a time. We all have family who’s company we really enjoy and who really enjoy our company. Even for the closest of siblings and cousins, anyone can begin to irritate if there isn’t some escape; why do you think so many movies are released at Christmas and Thanksgiving? With the weather being quite cool to downright cold, most outdoor activities aren’t very practical. In Knoxville there is always the minor league hockey team the Ice Bears .

During this holiday season the Ice Bears have four homestands to enjoy with your family. There are two games before Christmas and two games after Christmas; this should have you covered whether your family visits before the holiday or after the holiday. For those of you who have early holiday guests, there is a game on December 20th against the Twin Cities Cyclones and a game on December 21st against the Huntsville Havoc. If you have company after the holiday, there is a game on December 26th   against the Richmond Renegades and a game on December 27th against the Fayetteville Fire Antz. This should give all your festive guests and yourself an opportunity to catch your breath.
