We've had 143 games so far across the first 16 matchdays - not including Bayern's snowed-off encounter against Union Berlin - and 480 goals at a clip of 3.36 per match. It's the perfect time, then, for a well-earned breather!
And we'll be back soon too, with Bayern hosting Hoffenheim in the Matchday 17 curtain-raiser on Friday 12 January.
In the meantime, we hope you and your loved ones have an enjoyable festive period and a very Merry Christmas!
