To think that many people don't realise the Christmas bubbles of 3 households have to be the same for each of the 3 households?

From conversations I've had, and from what I've read on here, I think there's still loads of (understandable) confusion around the Christmas bubble concept. So household A might be meeting 2 other households between 23rd and 27th, perhaps lunch with household B on Christmas day, then drinks with household C on Boxing Day. But while households B and C both count A as one of their households, they don't know each other and have a different third household each - D and E. Sorry, complicated but can't think of a clearer way of describing what I mean.
Anyway, my point is that the repercussions of Christmas could end up being worse than expected as even more households get together over Christmas as they don't understand that the 3 households should be fixed? I've looked up the gov guidelines and they are not clear at all.

YABU - Everyone understands that Christmas bubbles are fixed with the same 3 households.

YANBU - People are choosing their own differing bubbles as described above.

Because we are not planning on seeing anyone, I actually didn’t know this. I thought everyone could see their own two other households. I thought it daft as it would make chains rather than bubbles but I did not realise that it meant any three had to stay a three. I assumed exclusive referred to the two you chose (rather than being able to see two other households one day then two others the next).

Infections are rising because people are doing what is allowed. School. Work. Shopping. Etc etc it is a virus. You need a strict lockdown to stop it.

I dont think the rules are confusing per say I just think logically trying to work out your 3 bubbles is what's causing the confusion.
Also the government could of been ALOT clearer in the rules so there was less room for misinterpretation.
