We can only hope Premier League fans are allowed back inside grounds by Boxing Day.
Supporters from up and down the country, dressed in embarrassing jumpers they must pretend to like, usually escape to a winter wonderland of sport on December 26 each year.

Will the grounds still be empty on Boxing Day?
It’s the best day of the domestic calendar, a time when everyone realises the true meaning of Christmas is sport.
And we can look forward to some crackers this year after the Premier League released the fixture list for the 2020/21 campaign.
The standout clash is a London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea at the Emirates.
The Gunners were victorious over their capital rivals in the FA Cup final in 2019/20 and both sides will again hope to be battling for Champions League qualification at the very least this term.
Newly-promoted Leeds, meanwhile, will be at home on Boxing Day as they welcome Burnley to Elland Road.
Fellow new boys West Brom have an almightily tough trip, as they take on champions Liverpool at Anfield.
