While several teams battled it out on the gridiron on Christmas Day, the San Francisco 49ers enjoyed their free time with their loved ones. Even though the 49ers were officially eliminated from playoff contention in Week 16 due to the wins of the Los Angeles Rams and the Washington Commanders, there are still plenty of things to be grateful for. It has been a disappointing season for the 49ers after making it to the Super Bowl last season, but family and friends continue to be a source of strength.

San Francisco fullback Kyle Juszczyk got to spend quality time with his wife, Kristin Juszczyk, on Christmas Day in their home in California. Kristin Juszczyk, meanwhile, flexed the gift they received from 49ers tight end George Kittle and his wife, Claire Kittle: Two decorative rugs shaped like face of Samoyed dogs. “The best gift ever from @gkittle and @clairekittle,” wrote Kristin Juszczyk on her Instagram Story.

She and Kyle Juszczyk are proud fur parents of two Samoyeds, Mozzarella and Pierogi, according to People’s Jordan Greene. In response, Claire Kittle agreed with her good friend. “How can you not love those fluffy faces?” she said on her Instagram Story.

The two couples have maintained a close relationship since George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk became teammates on the 49ers in 2017. The former was drafted that year, while the latter signed with the squad as a free agent. They’ve gotten so close that Claire Kittle and Kristin Juszczyk wore similar customized 49ers snowsuits during a game against the Green Bay Packers in November. They all celebrated Claire Kittle’s 30th birthday in a memorable trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in May.
