5 is sadly the most likely - I think I prefer "five gold rings"....

6 - it may be a religion thing to you, but I'm more at the heathen drinking and feasting end of things - the only down side is that thanks to modern distribution systems this also applies to the rest of the year too, perhaps some festive deep fried Quality Street will make a difference.

13) People who get together over the festive season then have to stay indoors for 14 days.
To ensure no cheating, people intending to mix need to pre-register online and be issued with a permit, which must be carried at all times they are out, and presented for inspection.

8) I've already cancelled my annual trip to have Xmas with the in-laws (such a hardship, not) so I'm alright Jack! 😏

6. Christians had last Easter in Lockdown so can also have a low key Christmas this year as other faiths have had to during their festivals.
Probably Boris wants to see the shops and pubs full on what has now become a commercial non religious festival.
Yes Brexit next year, and at anytime is a disaster.

5 is probably what will happen. 6, if there is any common sense or fairness forthcoming, is what should happen.

My group of Christians will not be meeting together physically just because the rules happen to be temporarily relaxed. The last couple of months have shown how on a knife-edge this whole thing is, and important though getting together is to us, it's just not worth the likely aftermath.

Creeks, do-do and missing paddles come very much to mind.
Gatherings of 20-odd are common for xmas in my family. Whatever the government says, we already know that we'll stay in bubbles. One or two may go for the odd distanced walk in the open depending on the weather, and that's it. We're not messing around.
Opt.1: insert "think" between "so" and "we".
A version of Opt.8 happened recently downunder when West Australia re-opened its border. People on the first flights from Adelaide were told they'd have to quarantine by the time they got to Perth because 2 new cases were detected. They're talking single-digit caseloads. Look at where we are...

Make up another set of hideously complex rules that can't be enforced anyway except for egregious breaches and assume that the majority of people will be sensible (even if they break the rules slightly).
Australia managed to stop a huge amount of people bringing the virus in, so any outbreak needs to be strictly controlled. It was already widespread in the UK in February and while the UK is an island, there are far too many lorries going through the Channel Tunnel and across the sea on ferries that a Brexit-like arrangement would have been needed a year early to stop spread that way.

12. Everyone round here is ignoring the rules already.
John - the UK is not an island. Hence the Brexit shenanigans with the island of Irland.

Answer: whichever one is best for the government's beloved economy.

Earlier this year my daughter in Cyprus had to make a telephone call if she wanted to go out and wait for a yes before she could. That's the way to do it!

The UK is indeed not an island. But a combined isolation of the whole of Britain and the whole of Ireland from the continent might have been theoretically possible, except that it would be quite impossible to drop the exemption for cross-channel truck drivers. The brexit-checks at Dover will thus have no Covid benefit whatever.

Regardless of whatever the government says people will do what they want and go visiting family over the holiday period, i think they regonise this hence why they are talking of droping the restrictions for a few days.
And the reason it is more a big deal than other religions is because we are a majority Christian country and the majority of us still in some way celebrate Christmas as opposed to the other holidays you mention,
