“I also want to express my personal gratitude to the wonderful members of our armed forces currently on deployment – and therefore to their friends, family and children back home who will have an empty chair at the table when they tuck in to their Christmas dinner.”
The prime minister also highlighted that for some Christians around the world, “Christmas Day will be marked in private, in secret, perhaps even in a prison cell”.
He said: “As prime minister, that’s something I want to change.
“We stand with Christians everywhere, in solidarity, and will defend your right to practice your faith.”
Mr Johnson ended his message with a call for the country to “reflect on the year, and celebrate the good that is to come”.
He said: “Folks, I hope you enjoy the next few days.
“Try not to have too many arguments with the in-laws, or anyone else.”
