According to a new study by Scottish Widows’, Centre for the Modern Family, 44% of families will receive some kind of financial assistance from relatives to see them through the Christmas period.
Many people plan on spending Christmas with their families, to help keep the traditional British family Christmas alive. Relatives will also join forces this year in helping to foot the bill for the Christmas season.
However, more than 1 in 10 people are planning on sharing Christmas with their friends.
On Christmas day, 79% of people will open Christmas presents, with 43% watching Christmas specials on TV, and 1 in 5 watching the Queen’s speech. On Christmas Day, 1 in 5 families don’t leave the house.
For the majority of families traditional Christmas dinner remains a major part of the day. With 61% of us having our main meal at lunchtime, 15% eating in the evening, and 8% having Christmas brunch instead. This year, 4% of people will eat Christmas dinner in a restaurant, whilst 6% of people go to the pub for a drink, with only 7% attending Church on Christmas Day.
Another part of Christmas Day is arguments for 1 in 20 Britons, with the younger generation being more likely to argue with family members. 8% of 18-24 years and 25-34 year olds admitting to Christmas Day arguments, in comparison with only 2% of people over 55.
