Chelsea defender Luiz makes it a special Christmas for Brazilian families

Chelsea defender David Luiz says it's a special Christmas for himself and his family.

Luiz was able to help throw a party for the less fortunate at home.

"I really enjoyed Christmas. I was with friends at home. Oscar and his family also came over. There were a lot of people so we had a nice dinner and played Bingo.

"I was even happier because my family threw a party in Brazil for almost 5,000 people. We gave them a lot of food, clothes, toys and books for school because a lot of the kids don't have anything. It was great.

"They don't have any network there so I didn't speak to my family on Christmas Day, but the day after my Mum sent me pictures and videos of the party. I was so happy because I knew my family had given a great moment for many people."
