Christmas Move

We hope you have enjoyed 2020 with Xenia students! It is now time to go home for the Christmas & the New Year break. We wish all students a safe journey home, the government has set a student travel window to take place the week after lockdown ends in England, from Thursday 3^rd until Wednesday 9^th December we advise students to stick to the government guidelines to get home safely, additional travel may be organised by your university. Please don’t forget to wear a face mask hopefully you have received your very own Xenia Student mask from us.

Seeing your Friends & Family:

Christmas will be very different this year due to the pandemic however, you can still see your friends & family. Up to three households will be able to meet up during a five day Christmas period the dates are the 23^rd to 27^th of December you can read the article from BBC News here. This gives us the chance to see our friends and family over the festive period.

Ideas over the Christmas break:

Build a gingerbread house:

Many supermarkets will sell a make your own gingerbread house kit around the holidays or you can find a recipe here. This is a great idea to get crafty at home, you can use candy canes, marshmallows and jellybeans to decorate the house.

Listen to Christmas songs:

Listening to classic Christmas songs will cheer you up and get you in the festive mood.

Watch Christmas movies:

We all have that favourite Christmas film that we put on repeat every year why not stick that on or check out some new films:

• The Christmas chronicles,
• Last Christmas,
• Let it snow,
• The knight before Christmas

Go for a walk:

Why not also meet one friend at a time for a walk this is allowed outside your household.

Decorate the Christmas tree:

One of the most important festive activities, decorating the Christmas tree and adding decorations in your home can create some lovely family bonding.

We hope you have a lovely Christmas & New year from Xenia Students!
