From The Telegraph-The “absurd and ridiculous” pressure to have a perfect Christmas puts relationships under strain and “spoils life”, the Archbishop of Canterbury has warned.
The Most Rev Justin Welby said consumerism over the festive period is now so “over the top” that couples are left arguing over money and children are shouted at.
He said he would like to tell people to stop giving gifts altogether but accepts no one would listen.
Instead, he urged families to “show” love and affection rather than trying to “buy it”.
Figures last year suggested the average household spent around £1,000 on Christmas.
