Rejected petition Give Christmas Day and Boxing Day bank Hollidays back in the summer 2021.

I would like as a one off, for the government to give two days bank Holliday in summer 2021,
So that people can celebrate the loss of loved ones and the loss of previous family time over this dreadful period. If people have something to look forward to would take the pressure off what is happening.

People’s well being, and the feeling that you have missed out on two bank Hollidays over a very special time
