Reading at Christmas

I heard a really special story during one of the NFL programs Sunday.
Dick LeBeau, defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has a yearly tradition. He reads 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to his players! Those who've played for him in the past will always ask if he still reads that story. The players claim he really gets into the characters & story and takes it very serious. Those interviewed said he tries to show them meaning beyond the football field.
What a wonderful tradition, Dick! I know you've been in the NFL a long, long time, but I hope it continues for many years.
