The Best Part of Waking Up is Coors Light in Your Cup

Danny Kelly & Blaster Claus

Who will fulfill Mike Lookingland's Christmas wish? Danny Kelly or Blaster Claus?

Yesterday, you read about how Machel Millwood would happily sleep through Christmas. Frankly, he’s a bigger fan of his own birthday. Nothing wrong with that. But as I promised yesterday, his teammate Mike Lookingland is a bit jollier this time of the year.

SW: What is the best present you’ve ever received for Christmas?

ML: Power wheels.

(Note from Staci: Best answer ever? I think so.)

SW: Worst?

ML: My grandfather actually gave me a stocking full of coal one year. And I’m pretty sure I cried the entire day. And he was dead serious, said I was bad all year. That year, he gave me a bag of coal and that’s it.

SW: Awesome. What’s your favorite Christmas song?

ML: “Silent Night.”

SW: What’s your least favorite?

ML: What’s that one? The days of Christmas?

SW: Twelve?

ML: Yeah, 12. I hate that one. It’s just too repetitive.

SW: This year were you naughty or nice?

ML:*pause*

Um. I’ve been very…nice. Nah, I haven’t really done anything bad. There are a lot of nieces and nephews, so I’m the role model, and I do an excellent job for the kids. My girlfriend is very pleased with how I’ve behaved this year.

SW: What’s your favorite Christmas movie?

ML: “Christmas Vacation,” by far.

SW: What do you want for the holidays this year?

ML: I would love for Danny Kelly to go one day without playing 5-v-5 scrimmage. That would be the best present ever.

SW: What’s your favorite holiday memory?

ML: It’s the same every year. It’s going to the family party at 9 am every year and having ham, egg and cheese McMuffins that my grandfather makes, and Coors Lights and having the whole family together.

(Note from Staci: Ahh…the breakfast of champions!)

SW: Worst memory? The coal?

ML: That was pretty bad, I don’t know if I can top that one.

SW: Favorite reindeer not named Rudolph?

ML: Prancer. That’s the only other one I know.

SW: Who wins in a fight between Frosty and Rudolph?

ML: It’s gotta be Frosty. I mean what else can Rudolph do? Frosty’s got snowballs, he’s got a carrot he can stab him with. He’s got a lot of options. It’s gotta be Frosty.

(Note from Staci: You hear that Mills? Frosty’s taking your reindeer down.)

SW: Do you have a New Year’s resolution?

ML: Stop cussing at referees. That’s a good one. That won’t happen, but that’s my resolution.
