Oxford m40 services was packed last night with families exchanging presents
Like sitting in your car in a traffic jam wondering why the traffic is so 'bad'.
One family has decided not to wait for the government's review of its Christmas coronavirus restrictions - and will exchange presents early at a motorway service station.
Amanda Shephard told Sky News they had chosen not to meet at her parents' home in Worcester - and instead decided on the more extreme, but COVID-secure option.
"My parents are 72, my husband's mum is 75, and although they are generally fit, well, and happy to go out and see us all, it's always in the back of your mind that you may have taken the virus to them.
"So we just decided to meet up with them half way on a motorway service station and exchange presents there."
The mother of three added that meeting while COVID-19 cases were on the rise came with consequences that were "just too great".
