The Tate's naked Christmas tree The season of goodwill is upon us. But at the end of a year punctuated by protests over public spending cuts, will you be scaling down your expectations this Christmas?
Christmas is usually a key sales period for retailers and businesses as people stock up on presents for their loved-ones. But at the end of a lean economic year, many councils and businesses have been deciding against a lavish festive spend.

We would like to hear from people around the world about how they will be celebrating Christmas.
