On the phone-in Stephen asks - what should be done to support Scotland’s hospitality sector? Plus Christmas cards, holidays with pets and whisky.

On the phone-in...

Scottish hospitality businesses have suffered a "Β£1bn hit" because people have been urged to cancel Christmas parties, an industry body has claimed. Public Health Scotland released the party advice last week due to concerns over the Omicron variant of Covid-19. The first minister has backed the stance as well as calling for a three-household limit when socialising in the run-up to Christmas. But bars and restaurants are warning the effects are already "devastating". Some say there have been "non-stop cancellations" since the party warning was issued. The Night Time Industries Association has described the level of support given to businesses during the latest Omicron crisis as "completely inadequate".
