The holidays are a very exciting time in the Yellowknife Wraiths locker room. Every year on December 23 all of the boys get together at the local Yellowknife saloon and get piled up on Cooter's tab. Typically by things are all said and done the bill is several thousand dollars and the local police officers are arriving in their riot gear...even though one or two of the boys end up in the drunk tank for the night it's all good because it's a "tradition". The 24th is usually spent cuddling up nursing our hangovers and watching a marathon of Christmas movies including everyones favourite the grinch. On Christmas morning we all open our gifts and then head over to BigRed's house and he cooks an enormous dinner for the boys complete with turkey, ham and reindeer. We sign carols, drink egg nog, and play secret santa among other things. The holidays wouldn't be complete without heading back to the Yellowknife Pub on New Years .. once again on Cooter's tab... to be even more piled up. Since santa is done delivering gifts for the year he usually stops by to join the boys. Lucky for him his reindeer are legally considered Designated Drivers so santa doesn't even have to worry about a cab!
