Tim Howard neither confirms nor denies he is Santa Claus

U.S. men's national team and Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has quite the robust beard these days. You might think he'd be resting up on Christmas Eve in preparation for Everton's Boxing Day match against Stoke City, but it turns out he may have been sneaking into your house to deliver you gifts. 

On Thursday, Howard posted on Facebook wishing his followers a Merry Christmas. He also refused to deny the possibility that he was, in fact, Santa Claus. 

Merry Christmas!!! If you saw a bearded man in your house leaving you presents last night it definitely wasn't me..... or was it?

We'll never know, but if it's true we can add Christmas to #ThingsTimHowardSaved.
