It’s Christmas Day in less than a week’s time- meaning the roads and railways will be packed with festive revellers and shoppers and will be no place for anyone travelling on business.

If you’re in any doubt as to just how rammed the railways will be, figures from Trainline reveal how this Christmas is set to be the busiest ever as 20,000 more passengers than last year have already booked their festive train tickets.

And then there’s ‘frantic Friday’ to contend with.

Thankfully, there are a couple of ways you can beat the Christmas travel chaos.

This weekend will see the start of the Christmas party season, as office workers the nation over get lubricated enough to make the most inappropriate of passes at co-workers, or finally pluck up the courage to have that pay-rise showdown with the boss.

The festive season is finally upon us, which means this Friday and Saturday will see workers up and down the country head out for Christmas parties. And as the wine flows, tongues will be wagging with tales of unspeakable acts involving the photocopier, and co-workers caught under the mistletoe.

All of which is enough to leave you bereft of festive spirit before the tinsel is on the tree (unless you read our office party survival guide, that is).

But ’tis still the season to be jolly and all that, so get your festive groove on and spread that seasonal cheer by changing to our Christmas hold music…
