We've finally made it to Christmas Day, which is also the day before the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the regular season home finale at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs currently sit atop the AFC standings heading into the game.

This week, I was feeling festive. I decided to re-write the Christmas classic “The Twelve Days of Christmas” and tweak it into “The Twelve Days of Chiefsmas." Some have already happened and some are Christmas wishes for the Chiefs. Hope you enjoy it!

On the first day of Chiefsmas, my true love gave to me: A touchdown to Travis Kelce.

On the second day of Chiefsmas, my true love gave to me: Two Tyreek Hill peace signs and a touchdown to Travis Kelce.

On the third day of Chiefsmas, my true love gave to me: Three Tyrann Mathieu picks, two Tyreek Hill peace signs and a touchdown to Travis Kelce.

On the fourth day of Chiefsmas, my true love gave to me: Four consecutive AFC title games at Arrowhead, three Tyrann Mathieu picks, two Tyreek Hill peace signs and a touchdown to Travis Kelce.

On the fifth day of Chiefsmas, my true love gave to me: Five Super Bowl rings (before head coach Andy Reid retires), four consecutive AFC title games at Arrowhead, three Tyrann Mathieu picks, two Tyreek Hill peace signs and a touchdown to Travis Kelce.
