"Your Wish Is My Command!"
But be careful what you wish for!
A middle-age man was foraging in the forest and came across a tiny fairy. He caught it with his son's butterfly net and the fairy pleaded to let her go in exchange for one wish only.
The man let the fairy out, thought for a second and said, "I'm so fed up with my menial job, a bad boss and meager salary! I'm also tired of my boring wife and her nagging mother, and my whiny disobedient kids. I want to become finally happy!"
"Your wish is my command!" the fairy responded and turned the man into a perpetual optimist.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
