Call You and Yours: What are your plans for Christmas either as a family or as a company?

How will the continued effects of Coronavirus change your plans this year? For many businesses the next two months are crucial and what families buy could determine their future.

Call You and Yours: What are your plans for Christmas either as a family or as a company? Email: youandyours@bbc.co.uk

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, but it's going to be very different this year. For shops, businesses and families the festive season will be changed by the continued effects of Coronavirus.

We don't yet know who we'll be able to have around the dinner table come Christmas; we won't be able to shop in the same way because of the rules around social distancing; what we buy will change.

The big retailers, already adjusting to a big increase in online sales, are asking us to think about buying early to help with their capacity to deliver goods even though they've taken on thousands more drivers. There are signs some of us are already doing that. For many other smaller businesses these next two months are equally important and could be make-or-break.

So what are you plans for Christmas, whether as a family or as a company? Email us at youandyours@bbc.co.uk and leave your number so we can call you back, or call us directly after 11am on 03700 100 444.
