if they want to let four households mix then the lockdowns gonna have to be extended until christmas - whichever way you look at it even if we all are in tier 3 people can still go to pubs/shops/restaurants so will be mixing/picking up god knows what and then spreading it to their 80 year old grandmothers

Why do 5days not 2 or 3 Xmas eve. Xmas day. Boxing day.
My husband usually works boxing day its the sales.

Boxing day sales is probably the real reason - the amount of money made

Its the 1 day I hate him working.
We have no family locally so we see them week before Xmas.
I always feel sad and lonely boxing day as many families see each other boxing day.
Also means he can't have much drink Xmas night as he's driving.

The way I look at it, we’re going to be in some kind of fucking lockdown after Christmas either way anyway. May as well see our families over Christmas. I highly doubt we’re anywhere near going back to normal so what’s another 25 days lockdown at this point

Hit the nail on the head. We are going to be in lockdown either way. The thing that doesn’t sit well with me is the way they’re putting the responsibility on the general plebs. “Well you asked for it, so therefore we have to extend lockdown” when it was actually the plan all along

Yep, yet I haven’t seen any of my friends or colleagues who celebrate Diwali having a hissy for about it being drastically different. They made the best of it. We are all so entitled about Christmas!

Muslims weren’t able to celebrate Eid or spend the month of Ramadan with family this year. The government released several posters saying “Eid is at home this year”. They announced further restrictions two hours before Eid Ul Fitr. They even had police at mosques making sure there were no prayers going ahead. We just sucked it up and celebrated alone.

If they’re going to allow us to mix households over Christmas then they should extend that courtesy to the Muslim, Jewish and Hindu communities who had to forgo their religious celebrations this year.

And anyone who wants to come tell me this is a “Christian” country can fuck right off

Ugh I can’t stand their blaming messages. It’s not like we can opt in or out for these 5 days!
 
My Nan just mentioned to me (on the phone) she needs to know the restrictions for Christmas as she needs to know how many to order her turkey for 😂

but I actually hadn’t even considered that element, I wonder how long they will leave it before they confirm what it will be like.
