Make Christmas Day & Boxing Day family time not business time

Closed 106 signatures

What the petition asks

We should go back 14 years ago when christmas day and boxing day when everything was closed and all family spent time together. These days it's about business and who can make more money. Not family time whats so ever. I've got son nearly two years old but have to spend christmas day at work.
Every one using this two days for a business does not care about families with small children, old people.

At least from 365 days these two days everything should be closed.
