Wednesday, December 25, 2024, was Christmas Day, and it was marked across the world by all kinds of people.

Across the world, people celebrate the day with a variety of activities, and footballers are no different.

Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, who plays for English club Arsenal, was one of many footballers who gave their social media followers a glimpse of how they marked their day.

In the early hours of the day, Partey shared a beautiful photo of himself, his wife, and their baby with a Christmas message.

Partey later posted a funny video where he dressed like a scary Santa and handed out gifts to his family.

The video captures the initially shocked and petrified children in the Partey household running around as they were scared of the mask he was wearing.

Partey ran after them and gave them gifts, after which he exited the building.

Partey is expected to return to the field on Friday, December 27, when Arsenal play Ipswich in the Premier League.

The Ghanaian midfielder grabbed an assist in Arsenal’s mauling of Crystal Palace, and he is expected to start against Ipswich.
