Woman's Hour - 23/12/2009

Special Christmas phone in with Jane Garvey. In-laws, great aunts, exes, step-kids and long-lost cousins - as Christmas descends upon us so do our dear families. But how do you make sure that everyone rubs along together without the all-too-common seasonal rows breaking out over the TV remote, cooking the sprouts, or who got what present? Have you found a way to cope with difficult in-laws, or balance the competing demands of step-families? Or perhaps you are wondering how to get through a day you never planned to spend alone? Jane is joined in the studio by agony aunt Deidre Sanders.
