Bibikova noted that all over the world there are holidays associated with the celebration of Christmas and New Year. 

In her opinion, such a weekend should be. 

“I think that a week's vacation is a perfectly acceptable option,” the parliamentarian explained.

The senator noted that such holidays are "a kind of respite" for people.

“There is an opportunity to rest and breathe.

And to be with the children, with the grandchildren, especially since at this time the children have vacations in schools, so it seems to me that it’s not bad that these vacations exist, ”she concluded.

Earlier, Onishchenko said that it is advisable to abandon the long New Year's weekend.

He also emphasized that at this time people often come with poisoning from an overdose of alcohol or surrogates and with injuries "drunk."
