To post or not to post? Our social media habits for Christmas revealed

Merry Facebook and a happy new Tweet.

It may be a day for spending with loved ones but 51% of us will be logging on to social media this December 25. That’s according to a new survey by Carphone Warehouse which examines the use of social media around the Christmas period.

A massive 82% of those planning to use social media on Christmas Day will spend up to 3 hours browsing their social media accounts. 39% admit to doing so to find out what other people are up to on the day while 1 in 5 say they find it such a long day; they like to log on to kill a few hours.
