Playing careerBorn in Southampton in early 1886, he joined Southampton as an amateur in 1908 and made several appearances for the reserve team, but his business career prevented him devoting much time to football. In 1910 he left football to devote himself full-time to his family hotel business, but was persuaded to return to The Dell by reserve team manager George Carter the following year. In March 1912, following the dismissal of first choice centre forward Henry Hamilton for a serious breach of club discipline, Christmas was drafted into the first team. Despite his "pace and dribbling skills"[2] he was not a success and he returned to the reserves. Following serious injury, at the end of the 1911–12 season he "gave up trying to make the grade"[3] and ended his football career. After footballDuring the First World War he enlisted in the King's Royal Rifle Corps, reaching the rank of Second Lieutenant. He died in France on 7 October 1916 aged 30, of wounds received in action in the Battle of the Somme, and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial,[4] and on the Southampton Cenotaph.[5] PersonalChristmas was the son of Edwin and Margaret Abigail Christmas, of Southampton. He was initiated into the Freemasons' Lodge of Peace and Harmony in January 1915.[6] References1. ^{{cite book |last1=Chalk |first1=Gary|last2=Holley|first2=Duncan |last3=Bull|first3=David |title=All the Saints: A Complete Players' Who's Who of Southampton FC|year=2013|location=Southampton|publisher=Hagiology Publishing| isbn=978-0-9926-8640-6|p=42}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Christmas, Cecil}}2. ^{{cite book | first1=Duncan |last1=Holley |first2=Gary |last2=Chalk | title=The Alphabet of the Saints| publisher= ACL & Polar Publishing | year=1992| page=74|isbn=0-9514862-3-3}} 3. ^{{cite book | first1=Gary |last1=Chalk |first2=Duncan |last2=Holley | title=Saints - A complete record| publisher= Breedon Books| year=1987|page=237| isbn=0-907969-22-4}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/760093/CHRISTMAS,%20EDWIN%20CECIL%20RUSSELL |title= Casualty Details: Christmas, Edwin Cecil Russell |date= |accessdate=9 April 2017|publisher=Commonwealth War Graves Commission}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Edwin Cecil Russell Christmas|url=https://southamptoncenotaph.com/edwin-cecil-russell-christmas/|publisher=Southampton Cenotaph|accessdate=14 October 2017|date=29 December 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=2nd Lieutenant Edwin Cecil Russell Christmas |url=https://www.masonicgreatwarproject.org.uk/legend.php?id=546|publisher=Masonic Great War Project |accessdate=14 October 2017|date=23 September 2017}} 11 : 1886 births|1916 deaths|Sportspeople from Southampton|English footballers|Southampton F.C. players|Southern Football League players|British Army personnel of World War I|British military personnel killed at the Battle of the Somme|King's Royal Rifle Corps officers|Freemasons of the United Grand Lodge of England|Association footballers not categorized by position |
