Reply To: Will it be a Merry or Thrifty Christmas??

I agree with you Peter that it will be a Merry Christmas (as long as supply chains allow). I think the closer we get to Christmas, and the more we hear a message that there is a shortage of some type of food (especially Christmas staples like brie) it will cause panic as people will want to go all out this Christmas. Last year only three families could meet as part of the restrictions in some areas of England, in others you only had to stay within the bubble of people you live with. In January people will realise how much more money they spent than a typical year and will reign in their spending.
