First argument on Christmas Day? A day consisting of food and drink will result in an evening of bickering at 6.05pm - when 15 per cent of families will fight for the remote control. This will be followed by an outburst at 7.25pm by seven per cent of senior family members trying to play charades. At 10.15pm, after the liqueurs have been drunk and the last mince pie has been eaten, tempers will flare up just before bedtime. Corinne Sweet, Relationship Psychologist, said: "It's not only the turkey that gets overheated at Christmas, family flare-ups are inevitable. This is because people who rarely see each other are suddenly thrown together for the whole day. But the most important thing on Christmas Day is to relax and have fun.
