For the sake of a few days would it not be better to stay in your own home for the Christmas period? I realise shops and businesses are struggling but this I fear will cause even a longer lockdown in January at the behest of people's mental health

If we don't have the guts to face this new enemy with equal self-denial then we deserve all the pandemic's worst, and we'll certainly be getting it, thanks to Boris wanting to be seen as Mr Popular.
I think the situation at Christmas will be very much like it is now. People will do whatever they want to do. Most people are doing that now if you look around. Some people are staying in as much as possible; others are getting out and about as they usually do, except they cannot visit the places they otherwise might because they have been closed by diktat. As mentioned, this cannot possibly be policed effectively and it’s obvious that making something “illegal” does not prevent it happening so I wonder whether the PM is simply being pragmatic. The problem is that those who break this particular law are labelled "granny killers" or something else equally ridiculous. If granny wants to avoid being murdered she can stay indoors and have no visitors. Her would-be murderers can have some friends round for a beer and murder them instead.
'The pandemic's worst' seems to be a creation of the politicians, Canary, and having made our collective bed based on what is increasingly apparent as being dodgy science, are scrabbling for a face-saving way to back away from their worst excesses.
Christmastide is a hook to hang some of that on with further easing into the new year.
Revisionist rewrites of history and the decisions made are already with those who edit such stuff.

I certainly don't want to stay in my own home at Christmas.It's ok if you live with someone, but if you live on your own as I do and don't have access to Zoom or Skype so you can at least see your loved ones, then no, I don't want to spend it on my own as it will just seem like any other boring day of the week.
