Everyone loves a good roast, but there are only so many meat and potato dinners a person can handle before they start to crave a bit of spaghetti bolognese or the like.
You can avoid your family for ages now (if you want to)
Yes, yes, your family is a delight, but chances are you’ve had your fill by now. The good news is that you’ve put in enough hours over the last few weeks that you can now entirely avoid them for the rest of the month, guilt-free!

You’re ready for it
As much as you probably feel like you’re not, let’s be honest, you couldn’t have handled much more Christmas festivities, could you?
