Many adults will tell friends and family they're fine this Christmas – even when they're not

Two thirds of adults will tell friends and family they’re ‘fine’ over the Christmas period, even when they’re not, according to research.
The study of 2,000 people found 34 per cent are less likely to feel ok during the festive season, more than any other time of year.

“Let’s stop saying we’re fine because we think it’s polite, or because we think it’s
