Stephen Gostkowski is ready for Christmas.

The New England Patriots kicker showed off his holiday best in the team's locker room before practice Wednesday, donning a pretty awesome Christmas sweater. It was an Ebenezer Scrooge reference, but Gostkowski still looked pretty cheerful.

Gostkowski has plenty to be happy about this holiday, as he's the NFL's leading scorer with 139 points going into Week 16, just made the Pro Bowl on Tuesday and the Patriots clinched a first-round bye last week. Plus, he's certain to be a hit at all the pugly Christmas sweater parties this year.
