The UK government is negotiating with delegated administrations on a joint approach for Christmas

Dear Santa (or would you be Dear Boris?): 

- We would like a special relaxation of restrictions during the festive period. Could you grant us?

Recent reports have suggested that there could be a special relaxation of restrictions during the festive period in order to allow families to get together.
Asked by Sky News, 'Kay Burley, how many family members could gather around a Christmas dinner table, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said: "I have a family, I would like to know that and I think that is why in the days to come the government will define these details. "
Yesterday, the Prime Minister's spokesman said he has a "clear intention to allow families to spend Christmas together", but stressed that "it will not be normal".

On Wednesday, scientists suggested that easing daily restrictions on coronavirus during Christmas may require five days of tougher measures to compensate.
