If sex has been off the cards because your other half has turned into a stressed-out lunatic thanks to all the pressures of preparing for Christmas, get ready for a redressing of the balance.
New research indicates millions of couples will slip between the sheets for a bit of fun after the clock strikes 11pm following a day of celebrations.
Attention - of lack of it - clearly works as two thirds of adults admit the scarce amount of quality time they get with their partner at Christmas can leave them feeling amorous.
And, that crumpled Santa hat that you last wore at a jaunty angle at the Christmas party will make an outing - the study by Durex Embrace Pleasure Gels found one in 10 couples will have sex while wearing a festive hat.
Susan Quilliam, Durex Embrace Pleasure Gels sex and relationship expert, said: ''The long Christmas break gives couples more one-on-one time with each other than at any other season - so it's no surprise that the survey reports that couples head for the bedroom at Christmas, to reconnect emotionally and sexually.
''The research shows that if you make the effort to spoil your partner you will be thanked in bed - but to really boost that connection why not treat them to another gift and try something new.''
