Christmas is a time where a million and one things must happen and be in place (more or less) by the time presents are unwrapped on Christmas day.To be honest most of us manage it. We enjoy (or tolerate) the influx of friends and family and for once we seem capable of multi tasking i.e. having a drink, fixing the tree, carving the turkey. Using Christma
