Why should Xmas get a free pass?
Custom but also the UK has an official religion, CoE (Christian), headed by the Sovereign who is also head of state.
Edit- it’s allowed likely just because of politics and optics...

They weren't proper British religious holidays were they though? Cancelling Eid won't make the front page of the Sun.

Who in their right mind is going to having the maximum allowed gathering size if their area is in bad enough shape to warrant one of the higher tiers anyway?
Loads of people if current tiers and lockdown 2 is anything to go by! Our neighbour has been ploughing on as if his living room is a pub on match day night after night. We drove through Shoreditch because of work last Saturday evening and it was teeming. People be selfish... very very selfish!

How many other religious holidays were "cancelled"? Why should Xmas get a free pass?
Christmas in Britain has been a secular holiday for years. I'm with Jonathan Meades on religion but I bloody love Christmas.
