Usual 5 of us at home, hopefully we get to at least pop and see my Great Aunt (care home) by then, even if through a window or from afar for a short time.

I've worked the last two Christmases, so I'm hoping to have it off this year considering NYE won't be much of an event

If I have to stay at home then it will be three of us (best pal & big brother) but hopefully we can visit family and have dinner with them, etc

Normal for Christmas day itself, as for the rest..visiting, having friends over, going to markets, having our annual girls weekend away, I doubt any of that will happen but if its just for one year i can cope with that

No idea yet. But if I can't go visit family and friends on the day my son will love it. He always says he wants.to have the whole day in his pjs enjoying his new stuff so it won't be the end of the world if its just us. I can watch all the tv stuff and he will do his own thing I guess.

Exactly the same as every other Christmas - round the grandparents' with parents, aunt and uncle, cousins, and maybe great-gran

If they get charged a grand for breaking the rule of six, then whatever, that's nothing when divided by all us adults who'll be there

i think the trump judge event has shown just how important it is to respect the rules that are in place at a given point. I already postponed my usual christmas travel to a point where we can all celebrate properly, which in the general scheme of things isn't that far off.

We are, but we all know what bitchy curtain-twitching neighbours are like

I suggested everyone come to mine, as it still technically belongs to my grandparents anyway and it harder to see how many are in, but no, Her Majesty wants her massive kitchen

i have to say that i am not a fan of the authoritarian actions of the government at the current time, but i will respect the rules as long as I think its for the greater good of my fellow man and for the moment, it is.

Normally I spend it with my granddad, but probably not a good idea as he’s 97. So I guess it will be different this year

...what I don’t understand is...with Jeremy Corbyn, for instance..?...the rule of six obviously became the rule of eight for him...and obviously no fines were applied I don’t think because the rule of eight weren’t caught in the act of etc which they have to be...but those pics of that ‘flouncing’ as it were...so someone there took them and then publicly posted them to say hahaha, look at us, I mean they drew attention to it when no one would have known..?...I don’t understand, were people taking pics outside his window while they were eating or something...?...

It looked to me like a dinner party guest, who probably sold the picture to the press
