Deep down some people like to think Britain is somehow more special than other countries because of a rose tinted view of the past, think it’ll all just work out in the end, because it always has in the past, even when it hasn’t.
This 100%. We (generally speaking) are an extremely arrogant country years of the "great" british empire have given us a level of self important no other nation seems to have.
they’ll go for a week-long ‘amnesty’ like the Virus is going to come and play football with us in no-mans-land and other faux nostalgic toss He’ll make sure to let us know it’s our fault if it all goes wrong,
And this! Every step of the way the gov' have done this. But its hardly a surprise we have a bunch of people in charge who have never had to take account for a single action for as long as they have lived.
Chill out, who put a quid in you. Ever think they are public holidays because we are traditionally a christian country?
But the whole point is that's no longer relevant as the celebration of Christmas in the UK has long since transcended it's origins. Therefore to compare it directly (when determining any special allowances for it) with other celebrations that are still very much tied to their religion is non-sensical.

Its origins being some pagan midwinter get together a religious festival got plonked on top of.

No longer relevant to who? im pretty sure the people that go church on xmas eve/day still care that its part of a religious celebration or has it "transcended it’s origins" for devout christians too? If you want to deny basic facts thats cool we can no longer have a debate.

My Gran used to be a church goer and I sometimes used to chum her at xmas - The place was only ever 1/3 occupied at very, very most.
The proportion of the population who go to church, even at xmas as tiny.
I'm never going to google "chumming my gran"!!!
We've decided to have Christmas on 28 Dec with us (2+2) and my mum. That gives 10 days post school break up for the kids to disinfect themselves, my wife is wfh and I'm not working at the moment.
Nothing in life is risk free, and she really wants to do something as she lives alone.
The only way to have granny round, is to self isolate as a family (having done any supermarket shopping 2 weeks before hand), granny self isolates also.
You sit in a house with all windows open and wearing masks. All 2 m apart. No hugging or bodily contact at all. Then there's the logistics of getting granny to and from the Christmas venue of choice. Every receptacle, piece of cutlery and crockery being washed and sanitised to within a millimetre of it's life.
Or just do what our neighbours have been doing through all our lock down (we're in the Northwest where there's only been a couple of weeks off in the summer) and just ignore every rule, regulation or caring for the nhs, carry on as usual and be as inconsiderate and selfish as possible.
