“It was a pretty wild one, I have to say!” she joked. “I spent it at home.
“My husband ordered the Christmas tree so that was out - we put the lights and decorations on.
“I went for a coffee with my husband but generally, we were at home. I had quite a few messages from people, which was really nice.
“That pretty much sums me up! At home, chilled, putting up the Christmas decorations... It was really nice.”
Reflecting on her accomplishment, White added she was filled with pride - not only for herself but for her teammates, as the Lionesses romped to a 20-0 win!
