“A Christmas Miracle” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth
Try not to collapse in the shower, okay?
Being a highly respected OBGYN, I’m not one to believe in Santa Claus or Christmas Miracles. But this year, with my beloved Eagles needing the gifts of all gifts, I decided to roll up the scrubs and take one for the team. Not only did I draft a hand written letter to Santa asking for the Eagles to make the playoffs, but I even left out a box of Grandma Leavenworth’s famous chocolate chip cookies for St. Nick.
On Christmas Day, I wondered if Santa had gotten my wish, but I’d have to wait until Sunday. And when the games started, it became clear that Santa received my letter. The Oakland Raiders pulled off an improbable upset of the Bucs, the Texans beat up on the Bears, and all of a sudden the Eagles controlled their own destiny. All they had to do was beat the hated Cowboys. And beat them they did. Donovan played like the QB we have all grown to love, and Andy Reid actually decided to use the ground attack for a change. The Eagles controlled every second of the game, dominating Dallas 44–6.
In the end it was truly a Christmas Miracle, the likes of which I haven’t seen since I delivered the Smith Brothers in ‘74. All six of em, in four hours. Pure perfection.
