Jose Reina admits a productive Christmas can help to shape a season, and he believes Liverpool can catapult themselves into the New Year.
A top-four finish is the target for those in the Anfield camp, with the Reds having slipped out of that elite group in recent years.
Kenny Dalglish has them well placed to push on towards that goal, with three points currently separating them from the UEFA Champions League spots.
The next few weeks could be crucial to the Reds' cause, with the fixtures set to come thick and fast over the festive period.
Reina has been around long enough to know how important this time of year can be and the Spanish shot-stopper sees no reason why Liverpool cannot welcome 2012 style.
Fixtures against Wigan, Blackburn and Newcastle will take them through to the end of the year, and the Reds will be looking to take maximum points from that run of games.
"We know from experience how important December and January can be in terms of the title race and your position in the league, so we have to push now more than ever," Reina told the Reds' official website.
"Without meaning any disrespect to the teams we are playing in this period, I think all the games are winnable.
"Obviously, every team is tough to beat in this league but now we have to make sure we don't make any mistakes at home and that we take maximum points as often as we can."
