00:00Here in Bristol, YouGov findings sit alongside a festive season that is already in full swing.
00:06With the Bristol Christmas market drawing crowds into the city centre and families heading to the Avon Valley Christmas experience,
00:13there's no shortage of places where people come together.
00:17And that aligns with YouGov's picture of the nation, where more than one third of people say time with loved ones is their favourite part of Christmas.
00:25But research also reminds us that not everyone feels the same way.
00:30For some Bristolians, the cost of taking part in seasonal events can be a real barrier,
00:35echoing YouGov's national finding that nearly one in six people see rising expenses as the toughest part of the holiday.
00:42Others prefer the atmosphere around the city, from the festive light shows to the way neighbourhoods decorate their streets.
00:49What comes through locally is the same mix seen nationally, moments of joy and the reality that the season can feel very different depending on personal circumstances.
