Duvet know it's Christmas? From cozying up near the washing machine to spooning below a human-shaped punching bag - Brits share their temporary sleeping arrangements ahead of family festivities

People across the country are currently joining together under one roof to celebrate the festive season - but that may leave many with some strange sleeping arrangements. In an annual tradition, people take to social media to share hilarious pictures of their make shift home for the night in an event aptly named #duvetknowitschristmas.
For the last 13 years, people have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their pictures but this year, the event has moved across to BlueSky, which is attracting followers from Elon Musk's platform. Not only is it an opportunity for users to have a bit of fun, but it also raises money for charity Centrepoint, which supports young homeless people.

Last year, £43,152 was raised for the charity, narrowly missing out on the £50,000 target. Taking to BlueSky, organiser Rhodri Marsden shared the premise behind the 14-year-long tradition, writing: 'On Xmas Eve 2011 people started sending me photos of their sleeping arrangements, often compromised by there being Too Many People At The Inn And Not Enough Beds. I reposted them. A few years later it was given the hashtag by someone funnier than me'.
He described the submitted pictures as 'chaotic' and a form of festive fun shared between strangers online. 'Incredibly, over the last few years around £200,000 has been raised for homeless charities as a result of this thing', he added, before appealing for people to once again donate to Centrepoint.
