Revealed! The top 20 Christmas family arguments
Poll finds who has control of the TV remote is the top family row over the festive period
Ownership of the TV remote is the most common family argument during Christmas, a new survey has found.
The poll, by Buffalo LinkStation, asked 2,000 adults what caused the most arguments and bust-ups in their family over the festive period.
While hogs the TV remote came out on top, it was closely followed by mum getting stressed over the turkey, no-one helping frazzled mum in the kitchen and debates over who should wash up after Christmas dinner.
Cheating over a board game, what time to open presents and dad indulging in a bit too much festive cheer and getting drunk also made the shortlist.
