Shaquille O’Neal follows Santa’s Christmas etiquette.
“I do not accept gifts,” Shaq, 47, recently told Page Six. “You show me a movie where Santa receives gifts and I’ll take one.”
Instead, the 7-foot-1 athlete spends his holiday giving away thousands of toys to kids in need, in true Santa spirit.
“I’ve been doing my annual Shaq-A-Claus [event], handing out toys to kids,” he said, adding that it’s the only holiday tradition he really sticks to.
This will be the 28th year in a row that the former NBA star will host his Shaq-A-Claus event.
“I know what it’s like to wake up and not get one single toy on Christmas and I don’t want any child to have to go through that,” he told TMZ in 2018.
