At about 6 a.m. Christmas morning, as he put it, Patrick Mahomes “got to wake up … with my little sister there.” Soon thereafter, he was opening presents and going along with a family picture clad in pajamas themed to the day.
“It wasn’t my choice; I didn’t know the picture was going to go to social media,” he said Wednesday. “But that’s how it is. … I’m in the Christmas spirit whenever.”
Such is life as the gift that keeps on giving this holiday season, the one singularly spreading hope and joy to Chiefs fans in a way they’ve seldom, if ever, experienced before.
