Over the last few days, football players could relax from career worries - the most important holidays of the year they spend with their families.
On their social media accounts, current and former football players shared holiday photos and videos - from the stern expression on Andrea Pirlo's face to the festive Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo families.
However, not all footballers will be able to immerse themselves in the holiday mood for long - on the second Christmas day, there will be matches in the English Premier League and Serie A championships.
