There may be a lot of expectation and pressure around celebrating Christmas together, but it is important that you don't feel pressured to celebrate in an environment that makes you anxious or increases your risk.
If you don't want to form a Christmas bubble, there are other ways you can safely spend time together, such as going for walks outdoors, phone and video calls to stay in touch or arranging window visits so you can see each other in person.
If you are feeling lonely, isolated or stressed, there are people you can talk to throughout the Christmas period:

- The Silver Line (0800 4 70 80 90) is a free confidential helpline from @age_uk provides info and advice to older people, open 24 hours a day
- The Mental Health Helpline (0800 183 0558) is open 24 hours a day, helping those registered with a Leeds GP find the right support for them

- The West Yorkshire Grief and Loss Support Line (0802 196 3833) is available 8am-8pm daily, including Christmas Day, by phone or online
