I'm finding that working from home at the colder end of the year is a little less agreeable than the same during the Summer months. The afternoons seem longer and the walks at lunchtime less enjoyable, perhaps it's because I'm getting bored with the lack of variety or perhaps because there's less daylight or it's colder etc. but I'm definitely looking forward to the Christmas break and seeing my Son (who's away at University) and having a break from the daily routine.
The Government have been talking a lot lately about how students are going to get back home for the holiday, there's talk of them all coming back at once during the first week of December, this is so that mass-testing can be done prior to bundling them off, it's not a bad idea but may cause issues where travel options are limited, i.e. I can imagine the chaos as a few thousand students all try to catch the same trains to London on the same day etc.. It might be better to do things in waves, i.e. spread different groups/Institutions over a couple of weeks, but anyway I'm sure we'll get something sensible organized, rail and air tickets seem quite reasonable at the moment.
