Don’t spend Christmas without it

Don’t spend Christmas without it

Christmas comes but once a year..thankfully…because it can often come with a whole heap of problems. This festive book will help you prepare so you don’t have to spend Xmas Eve in a panic and resort to drinking that bottle of cooking sherry. With great gift ideas and an eye on your budget we will solve the issue of what to get for whom, how to wrap it and how to pay for it by not getting into debt. We will steer you through the conflicts that come with the closeness or distance of families, the arguments about who gets to go where for Christmas and how to return unwanted Xmas gifts without causing offence. As well as how to deal with religion, spirituality and politics over the Christmas dinner.

Practical advice and support from our Manual team will make your next Christmas go with a breeze. The Manual tackles all our Xmas woes . . . sibling rivalry, aged parents, children, dietary needs and recipes, putting on weight, and alcohol issues . . . all these raise their ugly heads at the most wonderful time of the year.

Whether you wish to celebrate an alternative Christmas or go traditional, this book will have your friends and family all agree that this was the best Christmas ever.
