If you’re like me, your Christmases are typically punctuated by NU-related gifts. This year was no different. I received this gift from my father:

When I opened it, I reluctantly explained to my father that it was the wrong Wildcats. To which he responded: “I know, but I fixed it:”

Many years ago, my wife noticed that my letter jacket was getting a little worn. So for Christmas, she bought me a blue jacket with the letters “NU” embroidered on it as a replacement.

I wore it for many years because I love my wife. But I did not throw away the letter jacket.

Very nice. Almost looks like a Kansas State Wildcat....

Now, if you were a good son...

You would peal of the logo and the "wildcats" sticker, repaint it in the proper purple/white or purple/black (depending on preference), get the proper logo and script stickers, put it all together and then hang it up. You know... just a little touch-up. Your father would never notice. ;)

The thing is, I’m moving to New York City where I’ll be living in a small apartment with no balcony. Won’t have much use for a birdhouse.

I gave it to my nephew.
 
As we put away the decorations, i remembered an NU Christmas gift my lovely wife gave me years ago. On the front porch, I noticed that she had put out our Northwestern doormat for bowl season
