On Christmas Day in 1937, in a football game between Charlton Athletic and Chelsea, the Charlton goalkeeper, stood on the pitch alone for 15 minutes after the game had been canceled due to the thick fog. He didn't leave the goal he was defending until a policeman approached him. 

Hope you're having a better Christmas Day than Charlton's goalkeeper 82 years ago!
