The twinkle-toed star plans a lavish Christmas Day bash and has paid an events firm a whopping £6,000 to decorate his £4 million house - and provide a Father Christmas suit.
His Cheshire mansion now has a 6ft tree in EVERY ROOM, thousands of twinkling lights, hundreds of baubles and a huge nativity scene.
And we've put Ronaldo in a Santa suit to show how the 23-year-old Portugal star will look when he gives his gifts to mum Dolores, sisters Telma and Katia and brother Hugo, who are flying in from Madeira and Lisbon.
A pal said: "Cristiano has a big family Christmas planned. He's been telling the lads he's got a firm which does a lot of the Old Trafford parties to trim up his house."
But £120,000-a- week Ronaldo will have to steer clear of the booze on Christmas Day as United take on Stoke City on the 26th.
Boss Alex Ferguson has even ordered players in for light training on Christmas morning.
What a Grinch!

What's the heck? Leave the guy alone. He has enough fardings to throw around.

Merry Christmas to all you haters, all who loves and all who has something to give. Until you have xperienced poverty then shut up. The poorest people always have the kindest heart and even a kinder and bigger one when they get rich. I am poor but I have a roof over my head, warm bed and food to eat and thats a whole lot more than some people in other countries will ever live to see. Say a prayer for the world and be thankful. CR7 you are a star, yes a beacon and I hope the supreme ruler will continuously bless you so you can be of help to others.
Feliz Navidad CR7. Voya con dios...

i think that its sweet what he's doing for his family- yes he gets paid a ver high amount but everyone at clubs as big as man utd do...so what if he's planning something special for his family its hardly our business if we all had as much money as he does im sure you'd do the same for yours.
stop hating on him-just because he spends on his family for xmas doesn't mean he doesn't forothers does it now??

it isnt hard work that ensures prosperity it is the grace of God,so who God has blessed with both talent and a kind heart, love so ur prosperity can come too

It's not all about having money; it's about having the heart to give. Many out there with more money than they can possibly count cant even remember there are millions out there who on eating each meal are thinking where the next meal will be coming from. We should honestly give kudos to those whom giving give joy. Not only that CR comes from the best club in the world (Man U) & knows how to do his thing (football). I sincerely salute & admire his heart of giving, not only for his family, but also for not forgetting what it feels to be poor & how it hurts.

C.R, i thank God for your life. Almighty God has bless you and you are doing the right thing by involving your family. More grease to your elbow,oh! Sorry more goals to your record. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

he wana waist it good luck ronny u worked for it son did any one give u when u were poor no so go cristiano have wat u never had babe
By marie richards .. Posted December 15 2008 at 5:00 AM.
Always said footballers are paid too much money, and silly people acually pay to go and watch them.
What has happened to playing because you enjoy it would rather watch a Sunday league team anyday. Watch and wait he will soon have to stop playing and then what ?
By anon.. Posted December 14 2008 at 11:24 PM.
Cristiano is a great guy and a fantastic footballer. Why not spend tremendous amounts of money on family.. he has the money and the heart to donate thousands to chartiy.
Ronaldo is going to train on christmas morning...
By Dave .. Posted December 14 2008 at 9:57 PM.
Good on you C.R you are the best so treat yourself and family to the best.
By Bazilyo.. Posted December 14 2008 at 8:56 PM.
Ohhh come on!!!
Do u know how many billionaries are out there who have stol peoples money n dont give a crap?? Do u know how many stars get millions just to do a stupid scene or ad and never meet their fans and dont spend money on charity??
Ronaldo was poor when he was young and by the age of 18 he had no money, his family had no money and hes worked hard to get it! Yea he got millions but all football stars get paid that way, those who play for a super club! If he wants to do something for his family why the hell not?? He actually plays every week, goes to traiinig, his fans could see him every week, he signs autofraphs and he does charity! Hes always wit his family and helps his sisters and brother! Even hes brother in law, after he got divorced wit his sister!
A selfish rich guy doesnt even remember about his family!
U guys r sooo wrong! Its proven by facts that once a poor person gets money and becomes rich no matter how much they proclaimed they would help the poor if they had money they forget where they came from, or how about Jeniffer Lopez? She doesnt even remeber da bronx lol!
By Marina.. Posted December 14 2008 at 8:44 PM.
'Twinkle-toes' has his brain in his toes and nowhere else.
Like most airhead overpaid people, he hasn't a single clue what to spend it on.
It rarely enters greedy dumb footballer's and the WAG's 'minds' ever tyo give much of their money to worthwile causes.
By ROGER.. Posted December 14 2008 at 7:23 PM.
Oh my god you jealous idiots! Struggling to find food to eat? Get a job then, that's all it boils down to! If you choose to be on the streets or unemployed then that's your own daft fault! I hate Man U with a passion but CR is a top guy, he has worked his socks off to be where he is today, leaving his family and country behind as a child to eventually live the dream he is today! If he wants to have a lavish Christmas and treat his family who is anybody to tell him not to? CR does a hell of a lot more than some people do for charity! With regards to the point about him wasting all his money... he is probably one of the most sensible footballers for his age! I can 100% assure you this guy will never be broke! If ya knew anything about him you'd realise this guy isn't just about football! Rant over.

C'on peeps..IT'S CHRISTMAS..cr7 does a lot for charities..he deserves to be a bit crazy..and anyway did he say he was gonna do all this for himself NO..well anyway..I HOPE YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS CR7 N UR FAMILY TOO..AND THIS COMES FROM AN ARSENAL SUPPORT TOO..LUV YA RON:)
By cr7me.. Posted December 14 2008 at 12:36 PM.
This is a guy that grew up in poverty and has worked his socks off to get where he is today, love him or hate him he is the best footballer in the world and deserves to treat his family and friends anyway he sees fit.
good luck to the bloke, hope he has a great christmas.
By jon brown.. Posted December 14 2008 at 10:01 AM.
how delightful will it be to see the tinted orange buffoon go broke one day..hopefully he will look back at the unnecessary extravangance and frivolity!
By dwayne.. Posted December 14 2008 at 9:30 AM.
Jealousy will bring u nowhere. he spent his money whichever way he likes. If u r poor, is it his fault? Don't go & watch him playing as well. Everybody has got his right and wrong sides in life. Give him a break. I's Christmas time.
By groscoq.. Posted December 14 2008 at 9:05 AM.
now that's 1 knee I wouldn't mind sitting on!!!
By Laura.. Posted December 14 2008 at 8:30 AM.
Nothing new here he always plays Santa, if you care to read his book. Can't see what wrong with it, can be my Santa anytime. He is not too blame for the poor people of the planet. Have a go at someone like Gordon Brown and rest of the parasites. Don;t suppose for one minute they will be having a bad Christmas. Bet he doesn't have to live on £60 a week he expects the rest of us to survive on.
By sue.. Posted December 14 2008 at 8:47 AM.
heis a okay guy and the best player in the world
By barrie cooper.. Posted December 14 2008 at 8:38 AM.
Can't Blame The Guy .. Christmas Is For Families .. And He's Got Them Money, So Why Not ...
By Luke.. Posted December 14 2008 at 3:03 AM.
who is struggling to eat?
By sgoody.. Posted December 14 2008 at 3:35 AM.
oh give him a break. He may be many things but the guy does seem to give and do plenty for charity. And I'm sure his family have had enough tough Christmases of their own, why shouldn't he spoil them now he has the means.
By zz.. Posted December 14 2008 at 2:08 AM.
