Quite likely. Christmas Day isn't overly special in this household any more since family have passed away or moved away. Plus it's easier to wish people Merry Christmas online than paying for texts which is unreliable at christmas!

I won't. It's the only day of the year when my whole family is together, so to be online would be rude and pretty pathetic I think.

I agree.

Maybe in the evening though, or REALLY early in the morning if I'm awake. My family opens presents when we are all awake, just depends on when we wake up!

I probably will be after I've stuffed myself with turkey and Christmas pudding. Normally it's just me and my parents on Xmas Day anyway 'cos the rest of the family live quite far away from us. And we only have a small house.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I probably will, seeing as my dad is having Christmas Day on Christmas eve. (Makes no sense to me either but it's the only time my nan and her cousin can come down.) I don't see my mum until Boxing Day, so Christmas Day will be like Boxing Day, and Boxing Day and Christmas Eve will be Christmas to me if that makes sense.

I spend Christmas at my house with my parents, my sister, and my parents' friends and their daughter. It's just always been that way, every Christmas forever (apart from one year, when my parents' friends had flu, so we actually watched TV on Christmas day instead, which was weird.) We don't open the presents in my house till after we've had Christmas dinner, which usually happens at any time between 3-5pm, then we spend the evening playing Monopoly or something.

Last year, I went out on Christmas day to get more phone credit from a cash machine, because I was disorganised and ran out, and it was sunny and cold but blue sky, and the entire town centre was empty apart from a couple of people, it was so weird seeing the town centre empty, and the only time I have ever seen the station shut. This year I plan on going out for a walk on Christmas morning as well, it is really weird and cool.

I know what you mean. One year my mum was working until 2 so I was home alone in the morning... I decided to go for a walk, all I could smell was Christmas dinners, I was so hungry by the end of the walk!

I went for a walk around town too, to make sure my boss wasn't at work as he was joking that he'd be there. The town I live in is pretty tiny but it is really weird seeing it so empty. There were no shops open, no cars about, no people, nothing but me!!

I live in a huuge town where the station is open 24/7 apart from Christmas day, and the shops are open 12 hours a day all through December except for Christmas day. There are always people, cars, buses and trams around, so it is really weird to see nothing around except for cars and no people, no shops, nothing, when the sun is out and it's the middle of the day.

Same here. Though presents are usually opened straight away, then we have breakfast or whatever.

Most of the family are here throughout Christmas Day and it's very busy, then we either go to my Aunty's for a massive party or we have it here. It's been like that for as long as I can remember.

I might be on for a bit but not for all day, im hoping for a sleep in but might have to go to Church and isnt Scott on Christmas day-we cant miss that geeks!

Ill be spending time with my family, especially my grandad because he's cool and tells me loads of storys about War. And ill probs be stuffing my face with good food and watching whatever they have instore for us on the box.

I probs wont have any credit as usual so might have to use the internet and the house phone to wish everyone a Happy Christmas.

Hmm, this could be one of the last proper Christmases together with my family. You never know what might happen next year after college!

This could be my last Christmas in the Uk, although I said that last year and we're still here haha

      It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html

      I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown

      Next Radio 1 boss

      By R1 Insider · Posted

      The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.

      Could this be similar to what Arielle Free did in Covid on Weekend Early Breakfast?

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Greg is doing Breakfast from 7am-11am on 23rd May which is a thirty minute extension of his usual Friday show and consistent with Big Weekend timings. Also it looks like from the 1st June, Radio 1 Chillout Anthems at 4am is being replaced by Radio 1 Anthems with Maia Beth and will also air at the same time on a Sunday.

      I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.

      I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.

      I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.

      Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok?

      I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.

      Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.

      These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!

      Probably got fed up of the usual moaning bastards all over it, asking for Ken Bruce and Jimmy Young back on air.

      Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national.
