This preview from the National League is written by Tom Scott.
The Enterprise National League North returns after a brief FA Trophy hiatus - so who will stake their claim to Christmas number one?
It can only be one of two sides but both AFC Fylde and South Shields face tough away days.
The Coasters head to Kidderminster Harriers on the back of three straight wins while Ian Watson takes his side to Chester who haven't tasted defeat since late October.
The only side to have gone longer unbeaten - ten games in all competitions - currently are Southport who host Worksop Town.
Third-place Merthyr Town know they can't be top for Christmas but know a win against Curzon Ashton could edge them even closer.
Just below the Martyrs things could not be any more wide open - just four points separate Kidderminster Harriers in fourth and Marine down in 12th.
The Mariners - who could jump up to sixth with a win - head to Bedford Town while Radcliffe will be desperate to get back to winning ways at home against winless-on-the-road Leamington.
Despite their humbling defeat to Oxford City last time out Darlington are still one of the form sides in the division and meet another side in good shape in King's Lynn Town.
After two weekends on the road Chorley will be hoping their Victory Park home will live up to its name as Hereford arrive.
Could this weekend be the one where Oxford City end their winless run on the road?
The Hoops haven't won a league game away from home since April and head to Spennymoor Town who are unbeaten in their two December games so far.
Elsewhere, Scarborough Athletic head to Peterborough Sports while AFC Telford United - fresh from their heroics in the FA Trophy last weekend - head to Buxton.
