Washing up, disposing of wrapping paper and taking on the cooking are the least favourite chores on Christmas Day. Emptying bins and wiping down surfaces were other thankless tasks people would prefer to avoid.
Research of 2,000 adults, commissioned by LG Electronics, found that to avoid having to do any washing up, one in six have pretended to be asleep in front of the telly, and 15% conveniently time a walk. It was also revealed that 48% of those taking on the chores wished they had more time to spend with their loved ones on Christmas Day, with 41% saying they don’t tend to finish clean-up operations until 8pm.
Millions of brits will spend more than three hours in the kitchen on the big day, meaning a quarter miss out on the key moments due to the cooking and washing up duties.
