Conor McGregor, UFC fighter, dresses in a wolf costume and keeps Santa decorations up for weeks after Christmas

CONOR McGregor seems to still feel the festive spirit as many of his Christmas decorations are not yet down.

The Notorious posted a series of heartwarming photos of his family and himself during the holiday season to his Instagram account.

Five days after the traditional deadline for removing Christmas decorations, it appears that some festive decor remains up at the McGregor home.

The Notorious was photographed wearing a Dolce and Gabbana wolf head jacket. A large Santa decoration was visible in the house.

McGregor captioned the snaps with the accompanying caption: "Don’t expect the Wolf to graze alongside sheep."

Many of the Irishman's fans commented on the snap with one comment: "Take down your Christmas decorations."

Another one said, "Or take down Christmas decorations in January."

Another said, "Every day in the Notorious household is Christmas Day."

One remarked: "Put ur Christmas decorations away!"

It is considered bad luck to leave festive decorations up after the 12th Day of Christmas, January 5.

Fans of UFC's poster child will hope he doesn't get struck by anymore when he returns to the octagon in 2015.

McGregor, 33 years old, is currently recuperating from the terrible broken leg he sustained in his UFC 264 Trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.

The Dubliner is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from the serious injury. He is looking forward to returning to sparring in April.

UFC President Dana White hopes that the former champion in two divisions will return to the cage this summer.

ESPN reported that he said: "If all goes well with his leg healing, he'll return this summer.

"I don't know what the landscape will look like when he returns.

"Dustin Poirier might be retired before McGregor returns.

"I don’t know [if he could compete for the title immediately when he returns]. "I won't know the answers until it gets closer."
