    I think most people work a lot these days anyways so that kinda ruins it a bit.
    If only people could stay away from the shops for a few days!

    Massively. The best part of Christmas is the void between Christmas and New Years where everyone chills. The idea of people queuing at 4am for Stephens day sales sickens me.

    Definitely, everyone works all year long. It should be illegal for shops to open on the 25th and 26th of December, just give everyone a break.

    Especially with the new drink driving laws for the day after.

    As my family are scattered around the world, we have to book flights for christmas this week (and we are probably already a bit late), and rough plans are made for 2020.

    I really dislike the extra hassle this puts on life. Why can't some scientist invent cheap teleportation.

    Doctors, Nurses, Guards & Fire Brigade are essential services and of course need to run as normal over the festive period.
    Starbucks, Next, Debenhams etc. opening as early as 6am St. Stephens Day? Completely unnecessary and unfair on the staff.
