As you tuck into the Christmas ham, try to dodge the worst of the chat around the table and open the presents, NRL clubs will also be hoping they can score plenty from the most festive day of the year.
It's time of year when the NRL seems to stand still. Players are on leave, clubs go quiet and the signings - for about the only time all year - slow down.
But it won't stay that way for long. Clubs have turned their long-term attention towards their 2025 squads, while pre-season training will be back shortly ahead of the season kicking off in Las Vegas, which itself follows pre-season trials from the middle of February.
So, what does your club want for Christmas ahead of the 2024 season?
On behalf of the entire Zero Tackle team, we wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, and safe holiday period.
6. Sea Eagles: Luke Brooks fitting in
One of the more intriguing storylines to follow throughout the 2024 season will be the Manly Sea Eagles and Luke Brooks.
The much-maligned former Tigers half has left Concord in what seems to be a the best decision for all involved parties, but it could be Manly who become the unexpected benefactors of the decision.
Signing Brooks was met with careful optimisim - his potential has always outweighed what he has been able to produce, but at Manly, he will no longer be the organiser.
Wearing the number six alongside one of the game's best and most experienced halfbacks in Daly Cherry-Evans, Brooks will be able to play his natural running game in a less pressurised environment.
To go with that, Josh Schuster in the second-row will also be an intriguing story to follow as he attempts to return to the form which saw him become a breakout sensation in his rookie season.
