Unlike most people, it’s not so easy for a professional athlete to do “regular” Christmas shopping, which entails going to different stores and buying gifts.
For someone like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, doing “regular” Christmas shopping would turn into an all-day affair because he would constantly be stopped by fans that want to chat, take pictures, or just simply gush over the star athlete. That’s why Mahomes relies on one website, in particular, to get all of his shopping done during the holidays.
“It’s a bunch of Amazon; a lot of delivery. I get it sent to the facility, I don’t tell Brittany [Matthews] so I can hide it from her and everything like that,” Mahomes told 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City on Monday, December 6. “But yeah, I usually have to do a lot of online shopping, there’s not a lot of going into the store and shopping. Plus, Brittany is like, dude — she sees everything. So I kind of have to be real sneaky with it so I can try and surprise her every once and a while.”
Mahomes’ First Christmas as Father
Christmas in 2021 marks Mahomes’ first Christmas with his daughter, Sterling. The star quarterback is ready to play the role of father for the first time during this time of the year.
“I’m super excited. Santa will be coming to the house, Mahomes told 610 Sports Radio on Monday, December 20 “There’s going to be presents everywhere. It’ll be me, Brittany, and Sterling. I’m excited to have the first Christmas with the family, the little one, It’ll be a special moment.” Mahomes also spoke about the Christmas gift he wanted the most when he was a kid.
“My gift was a basketball goal. Santa ended up bringing it to me eventually,” he said. “I used that thing literally my entire life until I broke it. It was an awesome gift to give and something I wanted for years…me and my buddy were at the house playing and we were practicing half-court shots and I threw the basketball and it hit the backboard, and it broke the backboard. I think we got it replaced but it took a long time.”
