I love Christmas but I don’t love hassle and stress. For me Christmas is all about having fun, spending time with family, enjoying each others company and generally having a good time. It’s not about spending forever cooking, cleaning, running out of wrapping paper or stressing all of which suck the joy out of joyeux noel.

All of the hacks in the image below are listed in the order in which they appear but of course there’s loads more brilliant Christmas hacks too. If you want to make sure you don’t forget these in the chaos before the big day make sure you pin or bookmark this for later!
