"We are working very hard to face this Christmas period," Conte told chelseafc.com ahead of Wednesday's trip to Sunderland. "It's a new experience for me and my family.
"Usually over the Christmas period I'm used to having a break with my family, but now it's fantastic to have this experience, to play during the Christmas period in a new country. In the past I always watched the English games in this period on TV, and now to live this atmosphere is fantastic."
