And then I got hitched 4 years ago, on this date. If it had been possible, the hitching would’ve happened 31 years ago. So I suppose you could say there are two anniversaries to celebrate. Christmas Tie o’ the Day represents Grant Wood’s AMERICAN GOTHIC, an iconic painting of a farm couple. Lapel Pin o’ the Day is a 2002 SLC Olympic pin, referencing the same painting. On it, the pitchfork is replaced by a set o’ skis. Marriage is like skiing: downhill, cross-country, and jumping. ⛷Mostly jumping. 😉
