For UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma, Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year.
“I love Christmas. I really do,” he said. “I love it more now because I don’t shop, my wife does all the shopping.”
However, it wasn’t always like that. His favorite part of the holiday used to be going out on Christmas Eve to get all of his shopping done and feeling all the Christmas Spirit in the air.
“That used to be my favorite time to walk downtown on Christmas Eve and do a lot of shopping and be part of the mix,” Auriemma said.
