“Most times, the holidays were spent supporting the kids in various sporting events and enjoying the Christmas break with other families,” Donna told PEOPLE.
“I understand that it’s part of the job,” she said of holiday games. “I embrace the holiday games and enjoy the special days with our football family.”
Donna added, “Santa somehow has always been able to find families who work on Christmas Day on an alternate date.”
“But I remember the joy in their eyes as they woke up early on Christmas Day to come downstairs to screams, laughter and a flurry of ripped wrapping paper,” she recalled.
