Every Christmas, technology offers us new exciting toys to put on our wish list. This year you may have asked for a DVD player, an Internet-ready cell phone, or maybe one of those robot dogs. Just run your TV cable through The Hockey Box and on to your TV set, and watch the amazing results. Cooking shows have WAY more Canadian recipes.
Home improvement shows feature ice arena renovations.
So, dear readers, these are the kinds of goodies that dance through our Christmas dreams at Hockey House. Longtime Snacks fan Jennie Brown was featured on December 3, in the Los Angeles Times Magazine, in a photo essay by Gregg Segal about people with unusual personal ads. She was subsequently interviewed on a local radio station as well. In the phono Jennie bears her renowned personal ad as well as a beseeching expression that some worthy hockey player make her Christmas wish come true. It may not seem like a big deal, but it's a big pet peeve to those of us who are fans.
