Happiness reigned in our house last night. Husband is a life-long NY Giants fan and he has diligently trained up the kids to follow in his footsteps. Actually almost all of my extended family are Giants fans and sports fans in general. I would be the outlier. I watch and cheer if I’m around, but if I were alone?

We are Giants fans, and we are happy!
We always host a Super Bowl party. This year I said I wasn't going to, because we had another party planned for Saturday night. But the Giants made it to the big game, so we had to participate in some shindiggery!
As any sports fan knows, the outcome of any game is determined by the collective positive energy bandied about the country by the faithful few. Therefore, we have a few tried and true customs that we employed throughout the play-off season.
