Following the PM announcement in house of commons looks like Christmas this year will be different for lots of us
Looks like the rule of 6 will be in place for 6 months
How will this affect your normal Chrustmas traditions?
For me we normally spend Christmas at my mums with all family on xmas day and boxing day this is total of 11 people
So who will miss out and not be able to go probably me as I rely on them to pick us up as we live 39 miles away bit others too will miss out
Looks like it will be xmas dinner for 2 at home it's the kids I feel for
What is your concerns

Well I have a family of six altogether so in theory it will be fine but to be honest they probably won’t all visit as they used to. They’re older now and have other places to go on Christmas Day unfortunately.0

@leeCal At least it wont be very different for you then
My close family has grown over the years but we have always made a pact that we spend at least some of it all together no matter what else is on the agenda. Guess this will just be different this year, as I expect it will be for many others0 -
We were booked to go to a log cabin this year with my sister and brother in law 6 of us in total, don't know if thats still going ahead, i hope so, but if not it'll be us at home, i love christmas time, the decorations etc really perk me up1
-
For years it's only been me my partner and our kids but I like it that way Christmas in my eyes is for kids really0

Depending on what happens with the restrictions our family Christmas won't really happen this year. My parent and I live in wales and the rest of my family live in England and the rules are slightly different in both countries. If we go into complete lockdown again it looks like quite a lot of us will be spending Christmas on our own.0

I agree it's going to be very different this year0
-
Yes it is I'm hermit anyway I suffer with social anxiety etc0
-
It will be really odd not being able to have the traditional family gatherings in the run up to Christmas. However, Christmas day has always been at home, luckily there is only 5 of us!0
-
For years is been just me my partner and our children we like it like that less hassle lol but I feel sorry for people who are going to be alone at Christmas god love them0
-
We tend to split ourselves between a day with my family and a day with the in-laws so thankfully won't be too affected as there is normally six maximum. I do feel for those who have big get-togethers0

@Cher_Scope oh yes we will we always have a lovely Christmas every year got too make most of life0

It looks like it will just be me and my son while I appreciate we wont be on our own it will be hard as we are used to being with extended family and will just seem like a normal day just the two of us.
Will have to do some thinking of other ways to make it special
