Christmas dinner a main cause of family arguments

The traditional Christmas dinner has been reported as the biggest reason for rows on Christmas Day.

A new survey found that more than half of people questioned, said they would be involved in a family argument on Christmas Day, with most people pointing to the festive dinner as the cause of disagreements.

The study also found that 86% of people will be served a traditional turkey and ham meal.

Marketing Manager with Avonmore Food, Eithne O'Hara, said a lot of rows can happen before the dinner is eaten.

"One of the top things is actually helping out with Christmas dinner, and serving [it] … for a lot of people it can be kind of stressful."

86% of us will be having a traditional meal, with just over 55% sitting down to eat in their own homes.

The questionnaire also shows that 78% of people will be eating Brussels Sprouts, and half of people are predicting a family squabble on Christmas Day.

"52% of us will serve pudding this year, but what we did find interesting is 75% of people will serve more than one dessert on Christmas Day," O'Hara said.

But of course - there's always room for a little more dessert.
