As we look to a more subdued festive season then we’d all prefer, we've come up with our #Christmas

wish list – a special list of what you can do to make sure we all have the best possible Christmas and New Year.

Read on - it's a #Thread

Firstly, try to relax and enjoy yourself. This has been a stressful year for us all.

Keep celebrations to small numbers and local – it can still be fun.

Follow all government rules regarding mixing and travel.

If you have any COVID-19 symptoms isolate and don’t mix, even over Christmas.

Enjoy outside exercise with your household and in small numbers.

#Thread

Enjoy a tipple or two but don’t drink so much that you get dizzy and fall over.

#Thread

Don’t use A&E unless it is a true emergency.

#Thread

Cook your turkey through properly – there is enough infection round without getting food poisoning too!

#Thread

If called for your COVID-19 vaccination, please take it up.

Plan for a low key New Year’s Eve – the @BBCLater @JoolsBand Holland Hootenanny is your friend!

#Thread

During your break, how about thinking of things you can do to improve yourself in the New Year. Stopping smoking perhaps? Drinking less?

Medical director @DeepakDwarakan1 says: "We all want to relax and have fun at Christmas but we need to remember that COVID-19 won’t be taking the day off.

“We’re here to serve you. That will never change. Allow us to make sure our services are focused on those who need us most."
