Require shops to close on Boxing Day and New Year's Day

I believe that at Christmas and New Years retail staff should be allowed a proper break from work. This time should be for our loved ones, not at work. We are asking for all stores to be required to close on Boxing Day and New Year's Day so that staff can spend these holidays with their families.
