My old mum used to tell us to do as much preparation as possible, well before the Christmas Day family gathering/meal .. which includes doing all the shopping days BEFORE .. no last minute shopping trips which are usually extremely stressful and expensive !!
My personal snippet is to put a £2 coin in each cracker - the look on the faces of children and adults is worth the expense

Good advice, Zizu. I like the £2 coin idea very much.
My Christmas advice would be, do as much cooking prep as you possibly can on Christmas Eve. I cook my turkey on Christmas Eve so on Christmas day you've only got an hours worth of cooking, tops. And, I'm sure everyone does this anyway, wash up as you go. Oh, and have a dog... They diligently hoover up any food that gets dropped.
