In a rare show of unity, all four nations of the United Kingdom have agreed on a strategy of relaxing the coronavirus rules over Christmas.
From the 23rd to the 27th of December, up to three households will be allowed to mingle in one another’s homes, although the government is urging people to seriously consider not doing so.
All four UK nations have agreed that from the 23rd to the 27th of December, you will be able to form a Christmas bubble of no more than three households.

Anyone suffering from déjà vu might be remembering the infamous “We’re leaving the pubs open, but for heaven’s sake don’t go there” edict of March.
Recent surveys had shown that the general public is broadly against the idea of loosening the rules, particularly as the existence of three vaccines could signal a way out of current measures that wouldn’t involve killing Granny.
It looks like Twitter reflected those survey results.

This is a big sacrifice for me as it means I won't be able to see most of my children.#christmas https://t.co/mdnKgrBSpS— Parody Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson_MP) November 24, 2020

So it’s nobody in your house if you’re Tier 2 or 3 unless it’s the five days around Christmas when COVID magically doesn’t exist. Love to see the science on that.

They should make the Christmas three households rules mandatory but also you don’t get to pick which households you spend it with
