Fear not! Mighty dread has seized 2 in 3 troubled minds
TWO thirds of us admit we’re sick of Christmas before it even arrives after overdoing food, drink and festive “fun”.
By now the average Brit has indulged in three office parties, two work drinks sessions, two Christmas dinners and 25 festive chocolates.
And by December 25 we’ll have already seen four seasonal movies, heard 35 festive songs and eaten 12 mince pies. The survey – for Gordon’s Ultra Low gin – revealed some started partying on November 1, and 58 per cent of us are thinking of ways to avoid more bashes. Psychologist Rachel Andrews said the pressure of “unrealistic” Christmas expectations can be “exhausting and unsustainable.”
