Christmas day is now just 19 days away, typically a celebration that involves families and friends gathering to share food in some way.
It's a fond tradition for most - the ones doing the festivities hosting usually have a bit of stress on their hands.
There is help however - Mel Alafaci is known as the Happy Chef, and she's just released a book on the best way to have a quicky easy and most importantly cost effective Christmas.
