But with Christmas Day falling on a Sunday this year, a lot of people still have a full working week to wait.READ MORE:Mum who takes down Christmas tree at 6pm on December 25 explains her touching reason
However, as Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, the public holiday will be given on Tuesday, December 27. There will be another 'move' for the New Year's Day Bank Holiday as it also takes place on a Sunday. That means the public holiday will instead be given on Monday, January 2. 2022 was unique for having a 'double' public holiday in March. The extra day off after St Patrick’s Day was introduced this year as a tribute to health workers and to remember those who died with Covid.
But it won't be a part of the 2023 public holiday calendar. Instead a new permanent Bank Holiday will fall on St Brigid's Day or the date of the nearest Monday to February 1 every year.Monday, December 26 - St Stephen's DayFriday, March 17 - Saint Patrick's DayMonday, August 7 - August Bank HolidayTuesday, December 26 - St Stephen's Day
