Of the 400 that have confirmed thay want to come back, three quarters are yet to book their travel.
520 answered the survey, which included reminders about the sel-isolation rules on their return and asked if they would be able to quarantine safely at home.
Around 100 said they were undecided, mainly because of the self-isolation requirements .
The States says 'Operation Jingle Bells' is now underway, describing it is a special time for families - especially this year. The authorities say they are working on a plan to get children home for Christmas.
Their message ends with a promise to share more information when they can, adding 'we are working together to save Christmas'.
