[Solved] Rows at Christmas.

The Christmas period seems to put more strain on relationships than any other time of year. The first working day after new year is known as D-day (Divorce Day) among divorce lawyers as it is their busiest day of the year for new business. Obviously I'm those cases it is the straw that broke the camels back. This got me wondering what additional strains this time of year puts on a relationship. So what things do we row about with our other halves over Christmas ? Is it simple things like money or are there other things?

Let me know what you think?

Gooner.

....these days our rows flare up like a sparkler and fizzle out just as quickly!

I think for a lot of people the financial burden of Christmas is probably one of the biggest reasons, that and having to deal with the in laws! As the festivities are often fuelled by alcohol it's inevitable arguments are more likely to follow! The works do and inappropriate behaviour could be a cause too!

We're off to my in laws for dinner on Christmas Day but I'm sure we will be back home by 6pm....tucking into the Quality Street and waiting for Downton to start, with not an argument in sight!

I agree - between the over indulgence in alcohol, the fact that you are probably in a house with far more people than you are used to having around for an extended period, and the financial strain - any one of those could lead to trouble, but all three together....

Oh, and the fact that they don't have silent movies in the morning or the Great Escape in the afternoon any more 😀
