Buses
Limited services will be available over the Christmas period, as usual.

On Christmas Day, buses to and from Heathrow will run hourly, and the service to and from Gatwick will run every two hours.
Stagecoach offer a festive timetable on their Christmas and New Year bus times page.

Volunteering and Supporting Charities at Christmas
Want to give something back this Christmas season? Have a look at the list of the charities below to find a volunteering opportunity, stock up on your charity Christmas cards, or find a place to donate those unwanted Christmas socks.
Crisis Oxford are looking for volunteers over the Christmas period. If you're a keen chef, handy hairdresser, or can assist with collections, get in touch and see how you can help. You can also sponsor a place at Crisis for Christmas, and help someone get out of homelessness.
Homeless Oxfordshire are also looking for support this Christmas - find out more about how you can volunteer, donate or buy Christmas cards and help those out on the streets this winter.
Aspire Oxfordshire have launched their Place at the Table Christmas Appeal, to help those who are facing homeless and poverty by giving them a place at the table to have a hot meal, some company and a gift on Wednesday 18th December. It doesn't stop there either, as funds raised will enable attendees to access long-term employment and housing support. Aspire are well on their way to reaching their total of £10,000, but they need your help to get there.
Oxford Community & Voluntary Action (OCVA) are helpfully compiling a list of opportunities to volunteer this festive season - you can help with street collections, toy donations, or Christmas Day lunches for those in care homes. You can see the full list here. Likewise, if you need volunteers for a charitable event or fundraising effort that you're organising, OCVA want to hear from you.
You can also donate goods such as clothes, toiletries and sleeping bags to organisations such as The Gatehouse and St Mungo's.A more sustainable Christmas
Every year huge amounts of money gets spent in the name of Christmas. You can use your consumer power for good, by making sure that money goes, as much as possible, to local, small-scale, organic, Fairtrade and/or sustainable producers. Many of the businesses in our online Advent Calendar, such as Oxford Wood Recycling and Fairtrade at St Michaels, have a strong focus on sustainability and ethical production. Equally, Farmers' Markets are great for meat, veg, bread, conserves etc.
Buying second-hand is also a good eco choice, especially since Oxford is absolutely full of brilliant charity shops. Not sure where to start? Check out our beginner's guide to charity shopping. We also have a full list of Oxford's charity shops for the more seasoned bargain hunters.
Tree recycling
For information about recycling your Christmas Tree, see Oxford City Council's Christmas Recycling page.
Oxford City Council also asks us to remember that "wrapping paper, Christmas cards, champagne and sherry bottles, mincemeat and cranberry sauce jars and foil from the turkey can all be placed in the blue recycling bin". Also it's worth noting that waste collection from the week of 25th Dec will be two days later with normal collections resuming the week of 6th Jan. Garden waste services will be suspended from Tuesday 24 December 2019 and will resume on Tuesday 7 January 2020.

Warming Winter drinks
Our developer's Really Fabulous Mulled Wine
A few hours after starting to code, you need something to take the edge off life.
Take 1 orange, 1 lemon and 1 lime (if you have it) or whatever citrus fruit you have lying about.
Peel large peels of citrus skin with a vegetable peeler (or a knife - a zester will produce thin strands which you may feel compelled to strain out later).
Place in pan, on medium heat. You can put the peel in the pan as it heats up, so long as you're careful not to let it get too hot while you add the next ingredients. A bit of pre-toasting has a nice effect, though.
Add 100 grams of the darkest sugar you can find. Likewise, can be on the heat, if you're careful.
Squeeze the orange into the pan.
Add enough red wine to cover the sugar and half the peel. Stir to dissolve the sugar as fully as possible (some left at the bottom is ok and will dissolve fine later).
Make it BOIL. You want to reduce this down to a sticky thick dark syrup.
Once it has reduced down to about half, reduce the heat to a simmer and add 1 cinamon stick, 3 cloves, 1 bay leaf, loads of grated nutmeg, at least 1 cardamom pod, at least 1 star anise, and half a vanilla pod, split down the middle, if you have one - it adds a nice flavour. Add the rest of the peel now.
Continue to simmer gently stirring carefully to ensure complete sugary dissolution and lack of sticking and burning.
Once it's thick and sticky (about 5-15 mins depending on the ferocity of your saucepan and heating), turn the heat down and add the rest of the bottle of wine.
Heat gently until it's warmed through. Balance the heat of the mull with the amount of alcohol you're willing to lose. Those in fear of having inhaled most of the booze while heating (it's rather nice, and no doubt good for the nostrils), do add brandy or dark rum at this point, though that does make the mull a little harsher - the finer balance is to be found in the unadulterated, carefully heated version. Experiment and find your perfect balance!
Serve in something heat-proof (or be daring) immediately.
Norfolk Punch
A non-alcoholic alternative to your usual seasonal mulled beverage, this bottle is based on a traditional recipe made by Benedictine monks no less and contains all sorts of wild and wonderful herbs and spices. The office tee-totaller gave this 9/10 for its sheer proximity to mulled booze, and others felt similarly until asked to consider its resemblance to warm cola. Available from Holland and Barrett (£3.19), Uhuru (Cowley Rd), etc.
Hot Toddy
Quick version
Ingredients: half a lemon, tablespoon of honey, shot of whisky per person.
- Squeeze lemon into a cup
- Add boiling water, melt the honey in it
- (Stop here if you don't want the whisky, or) add whisky and drink
Slow, loving version
- Grate some root ginger into a saucepan, about 1tbsp per person
- Add however many cups of water you want, dark brown sugar to taste, an orange (or an apple) stuck with cloves
- Bring to the boil once, then simmer for about 15 minutes
- Drain into cups and add whisky and the juice of half a lemon for each person
A useful tip if you have a disastrous toddy-making enterprise: you can salvage a cup of it for a very cold person by adding a slosh of Rochester's ginger wine (available from Holland and Barrett).
