Books to help you win every family argument this Christmas

Isn’t Christmas a magical time? A time for loving and giving. A time for stuffing our faces and making merry late into the night.

It is also, for many of us, a time to leave the warm echo chamber of our daily lives where almost everyone we know thinks the same way we do, and thrust ourselves into a world of bloody-minded stepdads, old-fashioned aunts and cousins with a propensity for internet conspiracy theories. 

If this rings a bell, you’re going to need some help. From immigration to gender equality, Brexit to climate change, here are eleven books to help prepare for any argument that could break out this Christmas. 

First, the basics…

Argument: 'It’s time to rebrand Brussels Sprouts to British Sprouts'

Argument: 'Climate change is a hoax'

Argument: 'There's nothing new to say about gender equality in 2020'

Argument: 'You'll never turn ME into a vegan'

Argument: 'I don't have a racist bone in my body'

Argument: 'Praise be to God this Christmas'

The argument: 'Hang on, I just need to take a pic of the turkey for Instagram'

Argument: 'The NHS has gone to the dogs'

Argument: 'So, what are you actually doing with your life?'
