It’s the most wonderful time of the year – but just 12 months ago Christmas was the stuff of nightmares.
Millions of us were unable to get together with our loved ones because of the pandemic.
Many stayed away from vulnerable family members, while others had to cancel planned festivities due to last-minute changes to Covid restrictions.
So for those who were kept apart in 2020, this year’s Yuletide will be all the more special. And to help celebrate, The People is giving away a £1,000 luxury Christmas package to one deserving family.

It contains everything you need to make this Christmas a cracker, from festive food kits to perfect pressies.
There are gifts for the whole family, including bikes, booze and a scrumptious Christmas dinner. And we’re even throwing in a real six-foot fir tree to put all your presents under.
All you need do to be in with a chance of winning our giveaway is tell us why you deserve to win Christmas. Were you isolating because of your job? Did you need to be extra-careful to protect a loved one?

Or were you simply caught up in restrictions that meant you had to keep away from your family?
The big day may still be six weeks away but you can get an early gift this year if you enter The People’s Christmas giveaway.
Go to mirror.co.uk/winchristmas and fill in your details – and don’t forget to tell us why it is you who deserve to win Christmas.
