Like "Terry Christmas" headlines? Tuesday's back pages have a few of them. 

John Terry and Chelsea were hailed after a comprehensive performance saw the Premier League leaders leave the Britannia Stadium with a 2-0 victory over Stoke. 

While Terry's Christmas stole the headlines, there's also a fresh Moussa Sissoko rumour, and Michael Carrick and Tim Sherwood are also in the news. 

Mirror Sport reports that Arsenal are hoping to solve their midfield injury crisis with Newcastle's Sissoko and that Sir Alex Ferguson has said that Michael Carrick is England's best player.
