Here is…Surrey Heat’s Caylin Raftopoulos:

How will you be spending the Christmas period this year?
With family, close friends and a few of my American teammates.

What’s your favourite thing about Christmas?
Being with family and loved ones

It doesn’t matter whether you were a child or an adult; what’s been your best ever Christmas present?
That’s a tough one to call. I’ve had so many great Christmas presents. My Xbox 360 and laptop have to be up there.

What presents have you asked for this year?
To be totally honest, this is one of the first years I haven’t even thought about Christmas so I haven’t taken time to think about anything I may want.

What do you enjoy more: the giving or receiving?
I’d have to say giving has the edge.

Any Christmas traditions you’d like to share?
No specific traditions, just eat as much food as possible and have a good laugh with everyone.

If you had to get your coach a Christmas present, what would it be?
I’d probably get him a pair of Jordans.

And finally, what is your Christmas wish for the rest of the BBL season?
My wish is for all my team to stay fit and healthy and continue with our winning ways.
