Relationship problems at Christmas can be avoided by speaking to each other. There are lots of reasons why the Christmas season can leave even the most loved up couples at each others throats, arguing and bickering a lot of the time. Relationships throughout the Xmas holidays can suffer more problems than at any other time of the year.
Christmas is a tough time for everybody, we all have lots to organize, lots of gifts and food to buy and lots of arrangements to be made. That doesn't include our everyday work routine, chores and children to deal with at the same time.
With all the food and alcohol around at Christmas gift giving time and the amount of parties you are invited to then it is no wonder arguments start, because some couples once the drink kicks in, they don't know when to stop and realize to late. Some couples do tend to get violent once to much alcohol has been consumed and this is a relationship issue which needs sorting out pronto.
So what has your partner done wrong this year, maybe they did not do well in the choosing of Xmas gifts? If this is the problem then just explain that you were expecting something else and felt a little disappointed rather than shouting, screaming or ignoring them. As this gets into a battle of who's going to speak to the other first.
If it is just their lack of helping you to create the right setting with the Christmas tree, decorations or even the lack of gifts they have wrapped compared to what you have done? Then try to relax and explain you feel that you are being left to do everything, with very little help from them and this may help your relationship issue.
Maybe if you have invited your partner's side of the family round to celebrate Xmas day at your house, then you need your partners input because they know their families likes/dislikes more than you. So try to give your partner a list of jobs that he/she could help you out with on the day and then maybe he/she will feel more involved and, more helpful as they have been given things to do. Just in case they don't want to ask you because you are stressing and trying to make Christmas day a very special day for one and all and know they may get their head bitten off if they ask you if they can do anything to help you.
Lack of action in the bedroom department may be a problem due to your partner drinking too much alcohol and this causes trouble, don't worry this will pass and it would be best sorted in the morning, when both sides are sober and understand exactly what they are saying, because drunken words are very often regretted once said.
If you have children and you feel you and your partner need to have words, I would recommend you leave it until the kids are not in the house at all with their little ears wagging. You don't want your children to hear what issues or problems you and your partner may be going through, this will only upset your household more
