But lovely to see friends and get out and about.
It's not an easy time for everyone so throw an extra invite around! Welcome someone to your table on Christmas day if they're going to be alone.
My dad and I would often do that and Mum didn't mind but always wished for more notice. It has made our Christmases interesting, and it's amazing how much people appreciate it. People from overseas, recently divorced people who won't be with their kids, so many people need that invite offered.
I would always preface it with 'It's pretty weird' because while our family traditions are normal to us, you see them through the lens of a stranger and realise just how odd some habits are.
Or pay for someone else's Christmas - love the work of Wayside Chapel puts on a pretty mean street party and you can donate a plate here.
Do you invite other people to your Christmas lunch or dinner?
Household items, cookbooks and more helping women retrain and weomen's shelters.
