Every year, players, coaches, and various members of the Steelers organization gather as Lebeau spiritedly reads The Night Before Christmas poem.

“I get chills down my spine and tears come to my eyes,” said assistant head coach/defensive line coach John Mitchell. “I can sit back and envision being a little kid again and hearing it for the first time. It’s like the first time every time I hear it. It’s new and exciting every time I hear it.”

This year, Lebeau shared his family tradition with Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh to help raise funds for the less fortunate.............
