Read our 10 tips to help you cope with the season and enjoy your Christmas.

    I shall be sitting in my recliner watching the TV all day as usual, after giving the cat a tin of salmon as a treat, then deciding which ready meal to put in the microwave at 6pm. Normal day!

    It is a wonderful time of the year yet it can be stressful so a handy strategy is delegation - asking for and accepting help saves our limited, precious energies.

    Mr DD does things differently but despite that they get done without my being exhausted. I find it easier not to be around him when he's doing stuff in the wrong way (as I see it :wink: ) because that stops me interfering or getting het up and allows me to do the stuff I enjoy. Next year he will be writing the Christmas cards . . . He doesn't know it yet. :lol: DD
