St. Louis Blues 2019 Stanley Cup Champions Trophy Ornament

Okay, let’s talk about something important. Something that still brings a tear (of joy, mostly) to my eye. The St. Louis Blues 2019 Stanley Cup Championship. And more specifically, that glorious, glorious trophy ornament.

I know, I know. It's been a few years. But some things are timeless. Like pizza. Or the feeling of pure, unadulterated happiness when Colton Parayko blasted that shot. And, dare I say, the perfect hockey-themed Christmas ornament.

A Controversial Take on Holiday Decor

Now, I have an unpopular opinion. And I’m prepared for the backlash. Deep breaths... ready? The 2019 St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup Championship trophy ornament? It's the only ornament you need. Fight me. (Just kidding… mostly.)

Hear me out! We’ve all got that box of ornaments. The dusty relics. The ones with questionable glitter glue craftsmanship from your third-grade self. The ornaments you feel obligated to hang but secretly cringe at every year.

Do away with them! Purge! Declutter! Embrace the Blues! Think of the possibilities. A minimalist Christmas tree. Chic. Modern. And radiating with Blues pride. Your tree becomes a shrine to that magical season. A beacon of hope and impossible comebacks.

More Than Just a Decoration

Let’s be honest. It's not just a shiny replica of the Cup. It's a conversation starter. Imagine the holiday party small talk! "Oh, you like my tree? Yeah, it's dedicated to the greatest sports team in the history of ever. No big deal."

It's also a subtle (or not-so-subtle) reminder to all your friends and family who cheer for other teams. A gentle nudge. A friendly jab. "Happy Holidays! Remember that time the Blues won the Stanley Cup? Good times. Good times."

And think about the symbolism! The Stanley Cup represents perseverance, teamwork, and overcoming adversity. Perfect themes for the holiday season, right? Forget peace on earth and goodwill toward men. Embrace playoff beards and clutch goals! (Again, kidding… mostly.)

The Blues: A Holiday Tradition

Maybe I'm going overboard. Maybe I'm just still emotionally attached to that amazing run. Maybe I just really, really like shiny things. But I stand by my statement. That ornament? It's not just an ornament. It's a piece of history. A symbol of hope. And a darn good-looking piece of metal (or, you know, whatever it's made of).

Plus, it's way better than that creepy elf-on-the-shelf thing. That's just my opinion.

So, this holiday season, consider your ornament situation. Are you truly happy with your tree? Or is it just a cluttered mess of forgotten memories and questionable artistic choices?

Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to simplify. To focus on what truly matters. To hang that St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup ornament with pride. And to remember that feeling. That incredible, unforgettable feeling.

Go Blues! And Happy Holidays (even if your tree isn’t Blues-themed… yet.)

A Final Thought (and a Challenge)

I challenge you. Just try hanging only the Blues ornament this year. One branch. Test the waters. See what happens. You might be surprised. You might discover the true meaning of Christmas (which is, obviously, Blues hockey). Or you might just have a slightly less cluttered Christmas tree. Either way, it's a win-win.

And if you absolutely, positively can’t bear to part with your other ornaments? Fine. But promise me you'll give the Blues ornament a prime spot. Right up front. Where everyone can see it. Because it deserves it. We all deserve it. Gloria!
