LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech women's basketball program team wishes their fans a very Merry Christmas and shares with them some of their favorite Christmas memories. May 2010 be a blessed one.
Kristy Curry, Head Coach
My favorite memory is going to my grandma and granddad Sims on Christmas eve with the Sims side of my family and then on up to Jonesboro Hodge to my grandma and granddad Driskill's for Christmas Day. I really look back on the holidays as a time with family and how neat it was to see both sides every Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. My family instilled in my brother and me that the meaning of Christmas is really about, and that's the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Kelly Curry, Assistant Coach
My favorite Christmas memory is Kelsey's first Christmas. Nothing is more special than sharing Christmas with your kids!
Brooke Stoehr, Assistant Coach
I love Christmas because it is a time a year we celebrate the birth of our Savior and get to spend time with our families. My favorite Christmas memories have been spending time with our family and catching up with those we do not get to see often. My all time favorite Christmas gift was my Strawberry Shortcake two-wheeled bike I got when I was a kid. My sister taught me how to ride it without training wheels.
Shereka Wright, Assistant Coach
I really don't have a favorite memory but I do look forward to spending Christmas with my family. I enjoy just sitting back and reflecting on the past year and how grateful I am for family and friends! I also enjoy Christmas because it gives me a chance to see relatives that I don't get to see on a regular.
Grant Fausset, Director of Operations
My first Christmas with Lindsey. It was neat because we both shared with each other our families' traditions.
Tilmila Martin
My favorite Christmas memory was being with my son on his first Christmas.
Jordan Murphree
My favorite Christmas memory is all of them because it is time I get to spend with my whole extended family together! My favorite gift was my Barbie Dream House that was big enough for me to lay in it.
Ashlee Roberson
My favorite gift as a child was getting a Barbie Doll Dream House. My sister and I would play with it 24/7. My favorite memory is just seeing my family at this time of the year!
Jordan Barncastle
My favorite memory of Christmas is spending time with my family around the fireplace and my favorite gift of all-time was a horse named Roney.
Kierra Mallard
My favorite Christmas memory was when my Nannie came with us to our cousin's house and spent Christmas with us. This was the first time she came with us and that made me so happy that I had all my close family with me.
Casey Morris
My favorite Christmas gift I have ever received was an electric scooter when I was younger. I was about 11 or 12 years old when I got it and I rode it all around the neighborhood the day I got it.
Kaylan Talley
One of my most favorite Christmas memories was when I got my first pair of Barbie skates. The only thing was, I didn't really know how to skate but I tried to skate all day Christmas Day like I really knew how to skate!
Marissa Ashton
My favorite Christmas gift I have ever gotten is waking up to my family. What's more important than spending Christmas with your family? We eat play games and have a great time. Those moments are so precious to me. So if you think about it every year is my favorite Christmas gift / memory.
Mary Bokenkamp
My favorite Christmas memory is from when I lived in Chicago when I was younger. Every Christmas Eve, all of the family on my mom's side would get together at someone's home. We would have a nice dinner then exchange gifts. I used to love this because I got to see all my family. The best part of Christmas for me is having fun with my family.
Chynna Brown
My favorite Christmas memory is being with my family, giving and receiving gifts, and feeling all the love and joy.
Christine Hyde
My favorite Christmas memory is sitting down and wrapping gifts with my family as a young child. My favorite gift each year is being able to spend time with my family on Christmas.
Lindie Kimbro
Christmas is always a special time for me because of the time I am able to spend with extended family celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and the blessings from the past year. One of my favorite Christmas memories is how my dad used to make my three brothers and I each choose three Christmas songs to sing before opening presents.
Shauntal Nobles
My favorite Christmas gift would have to be my black fur coat with a matching hat and gloves. When I put it on, it was so warm and comfortable, plus it looked so elegant. It was one of the nicest things I've ever received.
Monique Smalls
My favorite Christmas memory is when my brother and stepsisters wake up at 5 a.m. to open presents while my mom and stepdad, Jay, watch us go crazy over the gifts. Then we go to my grandparents' house and open more gifts and eat Christmas lunch with the entire family. After we eat lunch we take naps then play family games for the rest of the day until midnight.
