Christmas is a big deal for the Italians. Nativity scenes, La Befana, Babbo Natale, pesce, panettone and spumante, midnight mass, the Pope's Christmas Day address - it's the biggest family occasion of the year.

For a few days, football talk on the peninsula will grind to a halt. But that doesn't mean that every Serie A president, player, staff member and supporter won't be hoping that Father Christmas can help them moving into 2012.

So, with Mariah Carey's classic song playing in the background, here are what Italy's 20 clubs are wishing for from Santa:

All ATALANTA want for Christmas is: Cristiano Doni ... minus the handcuffs

All BOLOGNA want for Christmas is: A time-machine back to the 1930s when they won three Scudetti and Marco Di Vaio was banging in the goals

All CAGLIARI want for Christmas is: Radja Nainggolan to turn down Manchester City's offer of 300,000 Pounds a day

All CATANIA want for Christmas is: Another 22 fixtures against Palermo

All CESENA want for Christmas is: Goal.com Italian editor & Claudio Marchisio hater Kris Voakes to say that Marco Parolo is overrated ... the last time he did, 30 seconds later Parolo smashed home a 30-yard screamer

All CHIEVO want for Christmas is: Someone to buy Davide Moscardelli a razor ... and a few goals too

All FIORENTINA & GENOA want for Christmas is: Artur Boruc, Juan Vargas and Sebastien Frey to lay off the mince pies

All INTER MILAN want for Christmas is: Youth

All JUVENTUS want for Christmas is: Not Marco Borriello

All AC MILAN want for Christmas is: Paolo Maldini to lend Luca Antonini, Taye Taiwo and Daniele Bonera his best-selling book: Playing Left-Back for Dummies

All NAPOLI want for Christmas is: Local thieves not to steal Edinson Cavani's shooting boots ... or anyone else's presents

All NOVARA want for Christmas is: A real football pitch

All PALERMO want for Christmas is: New medication for Maurizio Zamparini. Five coaches sacked in 2011 - if Bortolo Mutti makes it to January 1 - the present pills clearly aren't working

All PARMA want for Christmas is: Pelle to predict that their six-game winless streak will continue until the end of the season

All ROMA want for Christmas is: Someone to injure Marco Cassetti ... maybe Pablo Osvaldo?

All SIENA want for Christmas is: Andrea Agnelli to lose his mind, sack Antonio Conte and send him back to the Franchi
