Players are on leave, presents are being opened, and food is being prepared to be consumed.
But what does your club want under the Christmas tree in 2025?
Here is what's on the wishlist for every team this year.
To all our readers, the Zero Tackle team wishes you a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
Melbourne Storm
Craig Bellamy's career to continue
What do you get the club who has just about everything apart from a premiership in the last couple of years?
They don't need a whole lot on the playing side of the coin, although another big-name forward could be ideal.
The performance of Sua Fa'alogo replacing Ryan Papenhuyzen is also something they'll be keen on.
But all that is trumped by Craig Bellamy's future.
The longer he stays in charge of the club, the longer the Storm will feel they are simply an automatic, guaranteed finals team.
He has weighed up retirement during each year of his current deal, which expires at the end of 2026. He is still going though, and signing a new contract would be the best present the Storm could possibly ask for.
That was an enjoyable read Scott, on a Boxing Day morning with a temperature that precludes a dip in the water.
I think you’ve nailed it for most of the clubs, there.
If you get bored future gazing, and fancy a change to “fantasy” mode, how about giving us a column of “the one thing they would do differently, if they had 2025 again….” ?
