Happy Holidays (2025)

No sports in this year’s Holiday post (except for the fact my father and grandfather were both big sports fans, and a big part of the reason my brothers and I are too). Instead, Season’s Greetings courtesy of Toronto newspaper messages from the hat-making company owned by my grandfather and great-grandfather (and partner Ben Banks).

So, best wishes for whatever you celebrate at this time of year and a healthy and happy 2026 from four generations of Zweig men: my grandfather, my father, me (the Little Prince!) and my great-grandfather, circa 1964.
