Red Letter Days is taking the stress out of Christmas this year with its top five tips for the festive season, and a huge range of incredible gift ideas:

1) The only three numbers you'll need this Christmas - emergency services 999, the Samaritans 08457 90 90 90 and Red Letter Days 0845 640 8000.
2) Save on petrol, save on time, for a stress-free Christmas head online - for food, treats and presents, it's a one stop shop.
3) Kids make fabulous little helpers. To guarantee peaceful preparation enlist the children for a spot of arts and crafts to create perfect gift tags, cards and table settings.
4) Delegate, delegate, delegate! When tasks stack up, remember Christmas is a family holiday so get the whole team involved.
5) If all else fails, remember the cardinal rule ... a tipsy cook is a happy cook!
