While Thanksgiving and Christmas is a special time for family gatherings and enjoying a home cooked meal with loved ones, the highlight of the day comes when sports teams battle it out in epic form with live games displayed on television screens nationwide. Certain teams over the years like the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions are known for playing on Thanksgiving, while other basketball organizations such as the LA Lakers and Golden State Warriors are usually highlighted to play on Christmas. So, while families are bonding over how delicious grandma’s dressing is, watching sports together is a fun way to bring comradery and excitement to the holiday festivities.
Additionally, enhancing the atmosphere around you by watching the Dallas Cowboys Running Back Ezekiel Elliot run for over 200 yards or three-time NBA Champion Lebron James score an electrifying dunk over a small defender is a great way to spend a holiday with friends and/or family. Sitting down and enjoying sporting events with loved ones not only creates a more positive environment, but when tasty food is involved, it makes life seem almost a thousand times better. So, this Holiday season embark on a new tradition by watching sporting events together as a family, or maybe even attend a game if you can! You won’t regret it!
