Amy’s Christmas Burnout: Elves, Mental Load & Running to the Comments

Christmas chaos officially hits peak level. Amy opens up about total end-of-year burnout — juggling school holidays, work pressure, kids’ birthdays, presents, teachers, family logistics and the mental load that never switches off. The pair vent about everything they hate at Christmas (elves, pudding, forced church trips and bonbons), before spiralling into a rant about cheeky restaurants adding “suggested” tips in Australia. The Facebook Mums Group sparks outrage when one brutally honest mum admits she tells her kids the full truth at Christmas — no magic, no lies — and Chris & Amy are absolutely not having it. Plus, Amy shares shock landscaping quotes, the “wanker tax,” and why women get charged more, before the show wraps with a new favourite game: running to the savage Instagram comments on a viral haircut disaster.
