Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
Jenny and I had a successful trip back home to WI! It included a couple of Milwaukee Bucks games, dinners with friends and family, pickleball with my college tennis coach and teammate, shopping, Christmas decorating, and, of course, Christmas movies. This sparked a debate between myself and Jenny about the top 5 Christmas movies. Here are mine. What are yours?
- Home Alone
- Elf
- The Santa Clause
- The Grinch (Honorable mention to Die Hard)
It was great to disconnect a little bit and spend some time with family!

Congrats to the winners of our final giveaways!
Eric Lee, Robert Slutsky, Jeff Vongjesda, Nolan Henslick, Lauren Stroh, Angela Deng, Brandon Cirbo, Alfredo Pons, Mike Dai, and Maggie Lee all received a pair of Thorlo pickleball socks! Kaycee Wells will receive a Picklemall swag bag, and Eric Brown won a 3-month Picklemall membership!





Much gratitude to all those who donated to this very worthy and personal cause.
As a special bonus, since I ended up raising more money, we should all look forward to a special performance by Mr. Merchant.
Now that Pickle & Social has officially opened its doors, I’ll be visiting with a few other pickleball pros in a couple of weeks. I’m looking forward to trying out their craft food, signature drinks, and of course, their indoor and outdoor pickleball courts!
You can check out their facility, menus, entertainment offerings and see when a location will be opening near you!
