It’s been another strange and difficult year and this Christmas may echo that of last year.  We still believe the most important thing is for everyone to stay safe and protect all their family. Think carefully about tradition and don’t feel stressed or guilty if you have had to avoid it again. 

If you are alone, do remember that Christmas only lasts one day. Try to keep your spirits up by contacting someone you love or someone else who may be on their own too.  Plan some treats for yourself if you can - a winter walk, a warming cup of something delicious, a good television show or film. Reading by gently scented candle, being comforted by a pet is you have one.  

If you are visiting a horrid parent remember to try to keep it short, avoid joining in battles, even when sorely provoked and plan something relaxing to do once you leave.
