Rejected petition Allow families to mix on Christmas Day and celebrate with their loved ones.

I think the government should allow families to mix on Christmas Day and celebrate with their loved ones as many people have lost loved ones or haven’t been able to see them in months so I think families should be allowed to have one day to just mix and celebrate.

More details

Due to the unexpected outbreak of coronavirus many people have lost their loved ones and also haven’t been able to see their loved ones in months so I think everyone should be allowed to mix with their families on Christmas Day.
