Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the football's so delightful. Since there's no pubs or bars, let's watch Solskjaer, Solskjaer, Solskjaer.
That's right, everyone. The nights are drawing in, the trees are up and carol singers are primed to interrupt your dinner - it's CHRISTMAAAAS!
And the only thing better than Christmas itself, is football at Christmas! The calendar is jam-packed with matches every other day, providing us all with endless hours of entertainment at the expense of our talented heroes. Cheers lads.
But with all that football on offer, it can get a little bit overwhelming, and you might just end up missing out on one of the games of the season while drifting in and out of a Ferrero Rocher induced coma.
That's where 90min comes in handy. We have compiled a list of the biggest football matches across the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga over the festive period, purely so you guys never miss a beat.
Premier League
1. Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur - 16 December
When? 20:00 GMT, 16 Dec
Where? Anfield
How to Watch? Sky Sports
It may only be December, but this could already be a title decider! Tottenham Hotspur are in great form and Liverpool are doing what Liverpool do, even despite all the injuries.
Given their lofty positions in the table, this clash on December 16 may be the difference between success and despair come the end of the season. Maybe.
2. Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City - 20 December
When? 14:15 GMT, 20 Dec
Where? Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
How to Watch? Sky Sports
Leicester City may be pretty rubbish against the weaker teams, but Brendan Rodgers knows how to set up against the big guns. Likewise, Jose Mourinho isn't too bad with his tactics, either.
Plenty at stake for both teams, and a Red Bull fuelled Jamie Vardy buzzing around. Festive fun.
3. Manchester United vs Leeds - 20 December
When? 16:30 GMT, 20 Dec
Where? Old Trafford
How to Watch? Sky Sports
The game both sets of supporters will have circled on the calendar at the start of the season. Manchester United versus Leeds is one of the biggest rivalries in football, but we've been denied this pleasure by the Whites' demise over the past 16 years.
Time to relight that fire and settle in for a barnburner.
4. Arsenal vs Chelsea - 26 December
When? 17:30 GMT, 26 Dec
Where? Emirates Stadium
How to Watch? Sky Sports
Arsenal aren't in great shape right now, but surely it can't last forever... right? The Gunners will be keen to chop down Frank Lampard and Chelsea's title hopes, and this derby could be the spark required to snap Mikel Arteta's men out of their slumber.
5. Chelsea vs Manchester City - 2 January
When? 15:00 GMT, 2 Jan
Where? Stamford Bridge

Once the New Year is welcomed in, the table really begins to take shape. We fancy both Chelsea and Manchester City to still be up there come January 2, and that's exactly when they go head to head.
A must-not-lose, this one.

When? 17:30 GMT, 16 Dec
Where? Allianz Stadium

Is there a tougher test as a new coach than coming up against the best-drilled team in Europe? Atalanta have their offensive style down to a tee, so much so that their slick movements are second nature to these stars.
How will Juventus and Andrea Pirlo fare against these relentless attackers?
7. Inter vs Napoli - 16 December
When? 19:45 GMT, 16 Dec
Where? San Siro
How to Watch? LiveScore
That's not the only treat on offer on December 16, though. No sir, just wait a little longer, and you'll be able to feast your eyes on Inter and Napoli locking horns.

8. Sassuolo vs Milan - 20 December
When? 14:00 GMT, 20 Dec
Where? Mapei Stadium
How to Watch? Premier Sports
Sassuolo are the surprise package of Italy. Cemented in the top four and pinching points off the other top teams, there is no stopping I Neroverdi. On the other hand, we have Milan. Top of the league, unbeaten and indestructible.

Can they go one better this time round?
12. Sevilla vs Villarreal - 29 December
When? 16:00 GMT, 29 Dec
Where? Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium
How to Watch? LaLiga TV
Sevilla and Villarreal may not earn the headlines that other Spanish giants receive, but this is a mouth-watering tie on December 29. The hosts are going strong in La Liga, but the Yellow Submarine are going even stronger.
