I'm not sure what the history behind Christmas Eve or New Years Eve early finishes is, but its a fairly outdated practice.

There needs to be a balance between ensuring staff have decent availability to time off over Christmas, but at the same time recognising that there's still a limited demand to meet and a service to provide. Even a very limited skeleton service on core routes would be better than we have now and not leave shift workers stranded.

When we talk about encouraging people away from their cars, its worth remembering that private cars don't stop working after 7pm on two eves a year.
