A flurry of new Covid rules in Scotland mean that life after Christmas will be looking a bit different.
Nicola Sturgeon announced new rules and restrictions in a bid to stem Omicron cases in her Covid update yesterday.
The new measures follow cases of Omicron increasing by 50 per cent just in the last week, said the First Minister.
Visiting friends and family, trips to the pub and watching sport are all set to change under rules after December 27.
Unfortunately, any live shows or events on your calendar this festive period and beyond could already be cancelled.
Here are the things that will make life in Scotland different after Christmas.
1. Meeting up with family and friends
Scots can gather as they wish on Christmas day, but the FM has asked people to keep celebrations "as small as your family circumstances allow".
But this will change after Christmas - the guidance from December 27 is to limit contacts, stay at home and socially distance at least until January 2 when the rules will be reviewed again.
The government's guidance is to restrict socialising to three households after Christmas.
2. Hogmanay
The usual New Year celebrations will be muted in Scotland this year following new restrictions.
Scots have been asked to minimise socialising from December 27 - and that includes Hogmanay.
New restrictions limiting 500 people at outdoor events spell cancellations for large-scale New Year parties.
People hoping to ring in 2022 in Edinburgh's Hogmanay festivities will now have to make new plans.
3. Football matches
Outdoor events will be restricted to 500 people, either sitting or standing, from Boxing Day for three weeks.
What that means for football fans is that you may not be able to go to that match you'd planned.
Football matches will be 'effectively spectator free' for the three-week period, Nicola Sturgeon announced on Tuesday.
4. Going to a restaurant
Restaurants can continue to stay open, but going out to eat will bear similarities to earlier times during lockdown.
The Scottish Government announced new restrictions for hospitality to start December 27.
Pubs and restaurants serving alcohol will be required to do table service and keep one metre between different groups.
5. Having a pint
You will no longer be able to prop yourself up at the bar to have a pint this Christmas.
New rules for bars and pubs means that it's table service only.
That means you'll have to find or book a seat in your local pub - and of course wear a mask while walking around the venue.
6. Seeing plays, shows or other live events
If you had tickets to see a show soon, it unfortunately might be cancelled.
New restrictions on large gatherings on or after Boxing Day limit them in two ways.
Seated indoor events can go on if there are 200 people or less whilst standing indoor events are restricted to 100 people.
7. Going clubbing
Nightclubs will be affected by the indoor limits which cap standing events to 100 people.
People clubbing on a night out would also have to abide by one metre physical distancing rules.
More guidance is expected for nightclubs soon, but going out will not be what it previously was.
8. Shopping
New guidance for businesses introduced last week required businesses to reduce transmission as much as possible.
Shops are minimising crowding, queues, and face-to-face contact in a bid to slow the spread of Omicron.
9. Playing sport with friends
If playing football is a weekend routine with you and your friends, your matches could have to get very small after Christmas.
Non-professional contact sports that take place indoors will also be banned from Boxing Day.
Sturgeon said that physical distancing is not possible during these activities and also creates a 'heightened risk of transmission'.
The First Minister has also asked people in Scotland to limit mixing to three different households following festivities.
10. Take lateral flow tests
Everybody has been encouraged to take lateral flow tests before meeting.
Even still, the FM warned to take the test right before gatherings. For example, people should not rely on a negative rapid test in the morning if they are going out at night.
NHS advice recommends people take two lateral flow tests a week.
People in the UK can order a free pack of tests here. Rapid tests are also available at pharmacies and other collection points. Look up locations near you here.
