You should know that, after all, you are one, and I bet you'll be rubbing your hands together with gay abandon when it's all over.
Happy Christmas!

I think licensees are mugs to open on Xmas Day and agree the profits wont be that great.

I have been to a few pubs xmas day and they are packed (family sent to the pub while mum cooks). Usually the landlord just works. I can't see profit will be that bad.
Sometimes the landlord will just open up as a "thank you" for locals/staff. So profit won't matter that much to them then.

I think it´s a good idea, not everybody has family to go to over the Christmas period, and lot´s of people are better of sitting in the pub with people around them rather being at home on there own, Merry Christmas

I have always thought Xmas morning was a money spinner for the pubs and by closing for rest of day they were happy

in my local they actually make a hige profit on christmas day, they open from 12 until 2, and its the most busy day of the year for them! although what gets me is the fact that people cant just stay away from the pub for one day! i think thats a bit sad!
merry christmas xx

Some publicans open on Xmas day by way of saying thanks to all their regulars. There are some regulars who may be living alone and it's a chance of company for a while.

Locals will have family members normally not there.They are for
public service not just for profit.(though it helps)
