Mostpeople think the money taken over the counter at Christmas must be huge so why would a pub close.  Hee is a likely bill.
Extra staff min £200 a week for 2 weeks
Extra food nibles etc £500 min
Extra booze if not brewery £4 to 5K
Extra plates cups paper goods and decorations. £500
Extra music possibly live £300 to £600
Extra damages glasses, chairs, ripped wallpaper, puked on carpets, chairs eating in general, bloodstaines after new year, claimes for rippied clothes etc.replacing destroyed CHristmas tree.exra christmas insurance for all of the above.  Then theregulars moan because the pub that is open and inviting you to Christmas dinner at £60 a pop is not free.  All of the above espence is why and breweries are not always generous with CHristmas extras.  Good luck to all publicans and their staff who get away for Christmas and New Year it is a stressful hateful and ungrateful time in a pub and I would never work a Christmas again.  As an emergency housing officer I saw the results of bad holidays the minute the doors opened on after the holidays and they were bruised women and children also men pets and ruined lives.
