What would you do? Covid Christmas

So, my Christmas plans are to spend it with my son and my friend's family. We do this every year as my parents don't live in the country.
Found out yesterday that my Boyfriend has Covid. We don't live together but had spent the last 3 days together.
My son has been with his dad since Sunday so he is currently staying away so that he can still have a Christmas even if I can't!
So have had a PCR still awaiting results, have had 3 negative LFTs. I don't feel great, but I had the booster on Sunday and haven't felt great since so that's not really telling.
I don't want to rock up Christmas Day and infect everyone, it feels really likely that having spent 3 days with bf before he tested positive that I will get it eventually even if it is just lurking. I also don't want my son to miss out on the lovely Xmas we had planned at my friends. His dad can still take him even if I can't go.
Friends family are all vaccinated and boostered, they are happy to have me if still testing negative on Christmas but I just feel really miserable like a little waking Covid bomb and I'm not sure what the best thing to do is.

Stay at home. It’s not worth it for one day, how would you feel if you infected everyone? I think you know the right thing to do. Sorry you have to miss Christmas but in these circumstances, it’s better safe than sorry.

I had my booster on Sunday, I did 6 negative lateral flows in 5 days, my positive PCR came back yesterday. Don't risk it.

Oh yeah I'm definitely on the not risking it side. I just feel like I'm letting everyone down. I'm essentially isolating already even though negative. I do very much miss my son though, this is the longest I have been away from him!
