The post seems to be ATP’s humorous take on the family get-togethers and the heavy lunches and dinners that take place in the holiday season. It is not uncommon to see family members, especially the elderly, dozing off in the chairs after having a hearty meal. Meanwhile, it is going to be a great Christmas for Rafael Nadal, who ended the year as World No.1. He has had a fantastic year on and off the field. The Spaniard won 6 trophies this year including the French Open, US Open and the Davis Cup. On the personal front, Rafael Nadal tied the knot with his long-term sweetheart in Mallorca.
