Advent calendars are being opened and Christmas trees put up, but Port Vale find themselves in the pretty unique position of being a League One team still alive in all three cup competitions.
Andy Crosby's Valiants have proved themselves knockout kings this season and their December schedule offers their fans plenty of festive cheer.
On Tuesday this week, they head to Bolton Wanderers in the second round of the Bristol Street Motors Trophy.
Next week, it's Stevenage in an FA Cup second round replay after their 1-1 draw at the weekend - with a trip to non-league Maidstone United awaiting the victors.
