Exact time Brits are most stressed on Christmas Day & how you can help your loved ones stay calm

STRESS levels on Christmas day reach boiling point at exactly 9.37am, a new study has found.

And for 62-percent of Brits the pressure is so much they reject normal drink and food rules – throwing back their first tipple at 9.30am.

The study found one in five Brits said relatives blurting out controversial views worry them the most.

And for 19 percent the annual grilling by relatives about their love lives makes them fret.

More than three-quarters of Brits say mishaps like price tags left on pressies and forgetting key Christmas dinner staples added to the torment of festivities.

And 19 per cent believe they have ‘mastered’ putting on Christmas celebrations.

The study also revealed that it takes only until 10.02am for many of these best laid plans to have gone out the window.

This is despite preparations beginning an average 14 days in advance.

It is therefore unsurprising that relief is the most common feeling people experience once Christmas day over, followed by happiness.

But 26 percent just feel exhausted when everything is said and done, according to the study of 2,000 adults by OnePoll.

But help is at hand to assist those at breaking point amid the stress of getting everything sorted.

Dani Buckley from i Heart Wines who commissioned the study said: “It is always important to find plenty of time to put your feet up with your favourite tipple.”

The wine brand has now created a head spinning puzzle which challenges readers to find their favourite drinks among a scene of Christmas chaos.
