When we say had a good Christmas i think, if we're honest, most are relieved that there is a match to escape to on Boxing day. If you can't get to the game you can always check the score updates on the laptop or listen to the radio in some quiet part of the house. Even better is when the other half decides to go to the shop sales with your excuse being to stay at home because the football is on- i doubt you can really beat a good old boxing day fixture

Football is always an escape, but it's a literal one at Christmas that's for sure. More football comes the following few days then the FA Cup third round day comes along, football somehow feels right at this time of year, it should not be changed anymore than Christmas itself should
