There really doesn't seem to be too much to be cheerful about at the minute, so we've been asking you to share some of your star-studded moments.
The Leader asked for your selfies with a celebrity, and it's fair to say, just like Santa, you delivered.
Readers have been sharing their moments with a famous face, covering the worlds of sport and music, and in this age of the selfie, so many of you have been lucky enough to have a snap with a celebrity.
Check out the celebrity selfie queen Lynn.
From comic cons, random run-ins or organised events, we would love to hear about your encounters with famous people.
Share your photos, and the story behind them with us here or you can email claire.pierce@newsquest.co.uk
