Relationships on Female First

Christmas day cooking leads to food poisoning or burning- It's ok if we are not that great at cooking the rest of the year- we just call in for a take away or scrape off the burn and get on with it. At Christmas there is nowhere open to save us and the knives should be assigned for slicing not scraping. You just know your man will never let you live this moment down if you mess it up.

Drinking too much and making a spectacle of yourself- You want your partner to be proud of you but when you drink to excess at his family's gathering and then projectile vomit in front of them all- he's not so gushy about being the one who brought you.

Eating too many Brussel sprouts- You try to avoid trumping in front of your man to save embarrassment but at Christmas they just seem to slip out, whether you have had one or a whole plate full, so your feminine mystery is totally dashed.

Receiving a gift and not having one to give back- You have agreed a limit for your gift buying and suddenly he breaks out a really expensive prezzie and you have stuck rigidly to the agreed budget, including wrapping and cards- awkward.

Large family arguments- You would think that for one day people could keep their traps shut and just get on with it. But when your family start to have a go at his or vice versa, you start to wonder if you can tolerate the baggage that comes with being with each other.

Wearing the same outfit as your partner's family member at a Christmas party- There are so many of them that you kind of wanted to blend into the background but now you have a talking point and everyone laughs at you when you walk in- damn her for turning up first. Perfect.

Forgetting names of relatives' partners- You want to at least show that you know basic social conventions like remembering people's names. But suddenly they escape you and your partner's family thinks he is dating someone who has been living under their parent's stairs for their entire life.

Having to feign pleasure at a rubbish Christmas gift- Your partner is full of smiles as he hands you this gift so you know you have to put on your best face, even if you hate it. When you open it up to find a hand drill 'because you are doing up your house together' it becomes harder than you thought to fake that all important smile.

Opening up inappropriate gifts in front of friends or family- He buys you naughty lingerie- you get him some jelly shaped boobs and as your parents watch on as you open said gifts- what seemed like a giggle at the time is now soul crushing.

Being forced to play charades- You want to appear sophisticated and sexy at any Christmas party you attend- after all you have spent a lot on an outfit that is perhaps too short and your shoes are killing you but look amazing. Then you have to get up and start busting moves, counting and finding words that sound like something (all you can think of are rude things) in front of everyone. Suddenly you wish you were single and on a bar stool, drinking cocktails in the dark.
