are there any football games on christmas day

You might be surprised to know that there are no professional football games on Christmas Day in the United States. The National Football League (NFL) schedules games on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Day, but not on Christmas Day itself. The reason for this is that most people consider Christmas Day a day for family and tradition, and the NFL doesn't want to interfere with that. Some college football teams, however, do play games on Christmas Day.
