According to a survey, Christmas isn't complete without snuggling up for a festive flick, assembling the kids' toys, or indulging in chocolate for brekkie. The study of 2,000 adults revealed that witnessing a loved one's joy as they unwrap their gifts, tracking Santa's journey online, and savouring the first mouthful of Christmas dinner are all quintessential moments.
Other cherished traditions include indulging in seasonal goodies, unwrapping the gift you've been eagerly anticipating, embarking on a Christmas stroll with the family, dozing off on the sofa, and enjoying the company of multiple generations under one roof.
Interestingly, the poll also found that 46% dread missing out on these precious moments and rely on photos, video calls, and regular updates from their nearest and dearest to feel included in the festivities. Moreover, 55% connect with friends and family digitally to share memorable moments, such as the kids tearing into their presents on the big day.
The research was commissioned by Virgin Media O2, which has now launched the National Databank across all O2 stores nationwide. The initiative offers free mobile data, texts, and calls to help those experiencing poverty stay connected this Christmas and beyond.
Nicola Green, a representative from the network, commented: "We know that Christmas is a magical time for so many across the country and has the power to bring people together - whether that's in person or virtually. "But there are some who could miss out on the magic of the festive season because they can't afford mobile data.".
