It’s still the holiday season in the United States, which means gifts are even being divvied out to friends and family. Many Houston Astros fans shared what they received on social media, sparking some intrigue.

For Houston Astros fans, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

Christmas may be over, but the holidays are not, as Houston fans from the around the world are still celebrating the organization’s first-ever World Series championship.

They will continue until the Texas team is dethroned, whether it be next year or in years to come.

Baseball fans displayed their newest presents on social media, expressing their joy and love of their favorite club. And Houston fans especially got creative with what they doled out to their friends and loved ones.

Classic jerseys of a person’s favorite player or a bobblehead for that person’s cubicle used to be the go-to options in the winter.

But now that the Astros have their championship, framed articles and shirts hang on the walls of several houses.

Foam fingers and sweatshirts, as well as other memorabilia, sat within boxes waiting to be opened. And people of all ages ripped them up with excitement, resembling the child in everyone’s heart.

It seems that a large percentage of Astros fans received what they wanted for the holidays. And of course, what they’ll want next year is World Series No. 2.

That wish may not be so farfetched, as Houston enters next season with much of the same roster as it had last season.

Hence, the Astros could still be deemed World Series favorites, even with the Yankees and Indians not far behind.

Nevertheless, there were a few presents that stood out just a tad more than others, whether it be for sentimental reasons or pure awesomeness.

Of the tons and tons of photos exhibiting fanatical accessories and impressive arrangements, a handful was stirring.
