Cowboys Christmas Card

I am a FANATIC Steelers Fan...and have always called this team from texas "the cowgirls"...but there are some very nice people that allow me to use their driveway when turning on & off my School Zone lights...
They are FANATIC Cowboys fans...and i can respect love for your team even if i dislike that team...
