<p><strong>Members of Parliament fully deserve their extended Christmas holiday because they have done such a marvellous job this year, Britain agrees.</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Every person in the country, no matter which side of the Brexit debate they are on, says Parliament has really set the bar at a new high in 2018.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And because so much has been achieved in the past few months, the nation hopes its MPs have a jolly good rest for more than two weeks while the rest of us take two days off.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Parliamentary observer Lorraine Fisher, 34, said: "We can only hope they return from this extended break on January 7 and find the country is still standing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"Because, let's face it, the whole place is in grave danger of going tits up any day now."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Warehouse worker Steve Walsh, from Woodbridge in Suffolk, said he could only afford to take two days off this Christmas, and hopes the current uncertainty means he still has a job to return to.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He added: "But it fills me with Christmas cheer knowing our local MPs have managed to find time for more than two weeks off.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"At least we all know Parliament will still be there for them when they go back."</p>

<p>A spokesman for all MPs said: "Look, we haven't had our finest hour recently, but all those late nights enjoying subsidised booze in the Commons bars takes its toll, so we need a break.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"But don't worry, this whole Brexit mess will still be there when we get back."</p>
