The Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year seems to have had a low-key Christmas this year. Strangely low-key.

Serena Williams was bestowed that honor on Friday, but her Instagram account revealed nothing resembling any sort of celebratory behavior, the Washington Post reported.

Her Christmas Eve photo revealed a roasted chicken with one of the legs missing and Williams saying, "As always, dinner for one. I like the leg."

She posted three Christmas Day photos, all of her alone without any sort of holiday setting or background. The first was of her showing off her legs, which the Post noted she certainly can pull off, but it's not the sort of image that screams "Tis the season."

"And while it's fine to flaunt it if you've got it, the timing of Williams's leggy post seemed odd on a day like Christmas, when other athletes are posting photos of themselves in silly onesies with their friends and family," the Post reported.

Williams posted another image for her mother and one more of her with a serious look as she thanked the AP for the Female Athlete of the Year award.

For a couple of years, Serena was linked romantically to her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, though she never confirmed the relationship. Then earlier this year, she appeared to have rekindled a relationship with rapper Drake.

The two were photographed twice kissing over the summer.

But after Williams' shocking loss to Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals -- in which Drake escorted her away from the Billie Jean King Tennis Center -- reports began to surface that the two had broken up and then that the two never were romantically involved.

Of course, Serena simply could be plotting her 2016 season without distractions to give her a chance to complete what she couldn't last year -- the calendar Grand Slam. She surely is away that a calendar slam in 2016 would give her 25 Grand Slam titles and move her past Margaret Court for the all-time lead in Grand Slam victories.
