Utah Jazz players, including Gordon Hayward and Joel Bolomboy, took to social media to wish fans, friends and family a happy holiday season.

‘Tis the season to be jolly, especially if you’re a Utah Jazz fan. After all, former Jazzman, folk hero and one-time bleached blonde Kyrylo Fesenko celebrated his 30th birthday on December 24. Just as a young Karl Malone was welcomed to Utah with a parade on the 24th of July, people around the state adorn their homes in lights, exchange gifts and decorate trees in his honor.

It makes sense — Big Fes was one of a kind.

At least I think that’s right. I have been told in the past that my life is currently a pinch more hoop-centric than it ought to be, but I think I’ve got this one. Why else would Festivus be a thing?

In any event, multiple Jazz players made sure to send holiday greetings via social media on Christmas Day. And while Jazz basketball has been a grim affair over the course of the last week, the players are still celebrating the season and spreading holiday cheer.

Gordon Hayward and his young family shared their greetings with a picture on Instagram. His caption: “I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas today! Lots to be thankful for!” —

Erstwhile starting point guard George Hill also went the Instagram route. In his picture, Hill wishes a Merry Christmas from his “Mini-Me,” son Zayden —

Shelvin Mack kept things simple via Twitter, which I dig. After all, brevity is the soul of wit —

Rookie Joel Bolomboy wanted us to enjoy the day —

In lieu of well-wishes, Rudy Gobert opted to troll fellow Frenchman and Orlando Magic wing Evan Fournier —

Meanwhile, Joe Ingles was mindful of the International Date Line and wished his native land a Merry Christmas one day early —

Finally, Jeff Withey apparently spent the same day vomiting and reflecting on an apparently less than awesome year —

Whether you’re celebrating the birth of Christ, Kyrylo Fesenko, Hanukkah or just the fact that you’ve survived another year, another month or another day in the life, all of us here at Purple & Blues would like to join Jazz players in wishing you all the best during the holidays and in the upcoming year!
