It is a happier Christmas this year for Emma Hayes and her Chelsea team.
This time last year, the Blues crashed out of the Champions League with a 4-0 defeat by Wolfsburg in their final group game. The Blues had only needed to avoid defeat by three goals to progress. It was undoubtedly their lowest point of the season.
Fast forward 12 months and Hayes' side are in the quarter-finals having topped their group without losing a game after a brilliant Sam Kerr strike and a brace from Lauren James gave them a 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
It is some achievement, given they started their campaign with Hayes having to watch on from home after recovering from an emergency hysterectomy.
Chelsea knew they would progress as group winners if they avoided defeat by two goals and PSG boss Gerard Precheur had promised a 'full on attack'.
The French side started brightly as Kadidiatou Diani nearly created a goal out of nothing. The forward hit a speculative 40-yard shot at goal that Blues' goalkeeper Zecira Musovic did well to push onto the crossbar.
But PSG failed to capitalise on that chance as Chelsea started to take control of the game. Lauren James came close to opening the scoring as she fired a shot to the near-post which Sarah Bouhaddi just managed to keep out.
James continued to cause problems down the left and forced Bouhaddi into another fine save as she fired a low drive to the bottom left corner.
But there was nothing Bouhaddi could do to prevent Kerr from finding a breakthrough in the 42nd minute.
Sakina Karchaoui lost the ball in her own half and Kerr pounced, dribbling past Amanda Ilestedt before firing a sensational left-footed strike into the top corner.
If that was an impressive goal, Chelsea's second was sensational. James finally found the back of the net just after half-time as she capitalised on a Bouhaddi mistake.
The forward cut out the goalkeeper's slack pass to Kheira Hamraoui, laid the ball back to Fran Kirby, who then found Kerr. She played a first-time pass back to James who then slotted the ball into the net.
Chelsea were cruising and seven minutes later they had third and James had her second.
Another well-worked move saw Guro Reiten play in Kirby down the left, who crossed for an un-marked James to slot home.
PSG nearly pulled a goal back when substitute Magnaba Folquet curled an effort just wide but that is the best the French side managed in the second half.
The draw for the quarter-finals does not take place until February 10. The hardest draw Chelsea could get would be holders Lyon, who finished a surprise second behind Arsenal.
The Blues could also face Roma or Bayern Munich.
