All is CALM

It might be sold as the most wonderful time of the year, but 20% of Brits say Christmas feels 'completely overwhelming'*. And with family fallouts, plenty of cooking and ever-present financial worries, it's no surprise.

But, while the holidays are a time when our sense of control seems to vanish, the good news is that you can manage how you react to the festive season. Take our quiz to discover how you'll cope and use our top tips to enjoy a fabulous Christmas.

TAKE THE TEST

1 It's Christmas morning, the oven has broken and your guests are due soon. What do you do? 

A Cry. You're terrified about what else can go wrong.

B Your neighbours are away but left you their keys - you'll use their oven.

C Laugh. Takeaway it is, then.

2 Your son tells you he won't be coming - he's taking the grandkids skiing. What do you do? 

A Say it's OK, but still feel devastated.

B Beg him not to - Christmas is about family.

C Use it as an opportunity to go away yourself.

3 Your brother arrives with his new girlfriend and her kids in tow. You didn't expect extra guests. How do you react?

A Tell him that they will have to leave.

B Get the children to set the new places for dinner - they will love getting involved.

C Say it's OK at the time, but call your brother later and have a go at him.
