Sports World Celebrating Christmas 2015
Regardless of how you celebrate during the holidays, it’s almost certainly an occasion for spending a little quality time with the people you care most about. Of course, the prospect of exchanging gifts sweetens the deal, but almost no one can seriously claim to be guilty of spending too much time with their family. So the holidays are the perfect time to catch up with old friends and the only time of the year when eggnog is an acceptable drink choice.
Like the rest of us, athletes and other sports people are spending Christmas Day opening gifts, eating delicious food and—most importantly—spending the day with loved ones. And like the rest of us, they’re sharing some of their Christmas Day moments on social-media apps like Instagram—offering a glimpse into how they celebrate and who they celebrate with.
We’re finding the best Christmas Day pics and videos posted by some of the biggest names in sports and bringing them to you—all day. Check back here for updates!
