We're facing another lockdown after Christmas.

I think the focus on Christmas is absolutely ridiculous. If people know a lockdown is coming after they're just going to gather more while it's still possible. They're basically creating another big wave of infections over the Christmas period and THEN going into a stricter lockdown.

As someone who already can't go home for Christmas, this is really upsetting Just let people celebrate Christmas with their own household or maybe from 1 other if they're alone. FFS. People who live with family are lucky they still get to spend it together.
I will be spending Christmas alone and then facing lockdown afterwards.
