MLB and NBA Christmas articles

Hi. First of all, some pictures of Georgia football players visiting children at a hospital in Atlanta while they're there for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl: http://lpe.ajc.com/gallery/view/sports/2006/1206/1226ugavisit.

Next, the last two MLB.com Christmas Q & A articles. The first is about Aaron Cook of the Rockies, and here's a quote:

MLB.com: So what is the holiday season like around the Cook home?

Cook: We just try to spread ourselves as thin as possible on Christmas Day, visiting relatives, and really celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, which was the day Jesus Christ was born. So we keep things relatively simple.

Here's the article: http://colorado.rockies.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061221&content_id=1765645&vkey=news_col&fext=.jsp&c_id=col.

The other one is about Sean Casey, and here's a quote:

MLB.com: Big holiday tradition in your family?

Casey: We always open one present on Christmas Eve, and we always go to Mass on Christmas Eve. We always used to go to Midnight Mass, but the kids can't stay up that late. And before we open the presents on Christmas morning, we'll always sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.

Here's the article: http://detroit.tigers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061220&content_id=1765305&vkey=news_det&fext=.jsp&c_id=det.

Here's an article about Kobe Bryant making a little boy's Christmas just by spending time with him. Now, I don't like Kobe at all for some of the things that he's done, but this is still a great article:

Also, an article about what Dwayne Wade did to help needy kids at Christmas:
