One of my favorite traditions my family has started doing is going to the Kansas City Chiefs game around Christmas.
We started to do this two years ago and despite the outcomes of the games, my family and I really enjoyed the time.
Christmas games are fun because it feels like no matter the outcome while you’re at the game you are having fun.
Granted, when it comes to football most of the time it’s freezing cold as you’re sitting down and watching the game, but nothing beats the excitement of watching as your team scores a touchdown and being able to celebrate with everyone around you.
Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of the year due to family celebrations and adding this tradition for our family has been so much fun.
This year is going to be fun because it will be the first night game we’ve got to go together, and if things go the way we want them to, we’ll get to see the fireworks that GEHA stadium sets off after a touchdown.
I can’t wait to see some of my favorite players take the field and enjoy the game as we get to enjoy watching them play.
I may not be so satisfied with how the team has been playing recently, but I love watching the team regardless of their wins and losses.
Of course, it’s always nice to see a win. I’m not going to be devastated if we lose.
The outcome of the game isn’t what makes it special to me; it’s the people I enjoy it with.
Football isn’t the only sport that hosts Christmas games however, basketball also has Christmas games to play as everyone’s holiday goes on.
This year the Oklahoma City Thunder are playing in it, and I cannot wait to see how that game goes, especially with the season the guys have had so far.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have still only lost one game this season, and things are looking great for them to have a long playoff run.
This has me not only looking forward to Christmas but for spring and summer as well.
I love watching sports and with how the team has looked so far, I’ll be able to watch my team in basketball for a long season.
If there is one thing I can depend on to bring my family closer together, it’s sports.
Most of the family enjoys it and even the one that doesn’t always watch games has fun when we go to watch sports in person.
Chirstmas games are a way for my family to feel as if they are truly connected to one another despite our differences. It doesn’t matter if we watch the team or not we all get to celebrate and enjoy time together as well as a usually good game.
Christmas games bring together everyone around and I have got to celebrate a time with more than my family. That is what I think I enjoy the most about the games.
