Took 3 months to find it in me to write anything of substance about losing my mother, but the holidays felt like the right time to do it. Of course, she was on top of things and did her Christmas shopping over the summer this year.

Ahead of the holidays, Mason Schweizer shares a column about his late mother, her sports fandom and holiday grief. https://t.co/7zJColto3U
