Christmas morning is finally here and one lucky kid is probably playing Xbox One right now thanks to Chad Johnson. Ochocinco was tweeting about how crazy his kids’ expectations for Christmas were when a fan under the name Andria J jumped into the thread with her concerns about getting gifts for her 14-year-old.

She, like a lot of parents around this time of year, couldn’t afford an expensive Christmas video game console for her kids. That’s when the former Bengal stepped in to help. He told Ms. J that he would send her kid the system and all the EA sports games he could possibly want. Microsoft themselves even got in on the act and threw the kid even more games for the holiday. More people on social media started sending game codes and other swag, and now her son is probably enjoying the most lit Christmas morning imaginable. ​

This happy story does have some fine print though: Johnson wants to play the kid at FIFA 17. It is well documented at this point that former star wideout is a savage when it comes to his video games. He has not hesitated to show up to fans’ houses in the past to hand out L’s in person when they talk enough smack to him online. He wrote on Twitter that he would beat Ms. J’s son 85-0. ​

While a bit harsh, taking that sort of beating is probably worth the free games and having an amazing Christmas morning. Hopefully he remembers to be a good sport, or he could be looking at coal under the tree next year.
