McCourty Twins Share Their Extra Special Christmas Celebration

2009 will be remembered as the last year when the McCourty twins spent Christmas together. However, that’s about to change now, and the twins are having their Christmas celebration on fire. In a good way.

“It was his rookie year in Tennessee, but ever since then, it’s been FaceTime. So, we’ll do everybody at his house, and we’ll have a blast,” Devin McCourty said.

The twins are now playing on the same NFL team, and it is like a dream come true. Devin is playing his ninth season with the Patriots, and Jason is in his first. Devin was the Patriots first-round pick in 2010. Jason is the sixth-round pick of the Tennessee Titans.

“That’s going to be special. Every year, no matter our situation, Mom always made Christmas special,” Jason said.

“I remember waking up as early as possible on Christmas and going downstairs, and the living room would be converted. We’d go to sleep the night before, and there would be a few presents under the tree for a few people; but we’d wake up, and it was all set up, whether it was X-Men, PlayStation, action figures.”

“As we became adults, Mom told us she would start saving for Christmas in the summer,” Jason added.

“We came to realize her sacrifice. She told us she was laying away stuff back in September and October to make sure we always had a special Christmas. It’s something we try to take pride in now with having kids and making sure they always see the sacrifice and what it means to be a family and raise kids,” his twin brother added.

Christmas is also the holiday when they think of their father the most.

“We vaguely remember, it was the last Christmas we had when my father was alive. I just remember a ton of toys under the tree and kind of running around. It was one of the few memories we have of him, so that always sticks out in my head,” Devin said.
