The report describes the girl who is going to celebrate Christmas in a new country (UK) without her family, somehow because of Covid-19 and how she is planning to copy this situation. She feels that celebrating entire holidays alone (not entirely by choice) can make you feel lonely, which is normal, but seeing this as an opportunity to learn new skills would help you feel joy and become happy. She also advises that you can call the helpline if you are away from family and find it difficult to cope.
