And whether it's that flawless snap in front of an exquisitely lit tree, the loved-up couple making footprints in fresh snow or the cute pet popping their head out of a gift-wrapped box, there's never a time when showing off on socials is more apparent than at this time of year.

'IT'S TOO MUCH PRESSURE!'
Clare O'Reilly, 44, lives in Plymouth with her husband Jon, 51, and their children Eddie, 19, Sammy, 15, and Annie, 12.

Brits spend around seven hours online on Christmas Day, and while some of that is video-calling loved ones, I'll bet the majority of it is spent looking at someone else's 'perfect' day. I'm considering a digital detox this December, so before I do, I decide to see just how hard it is to have an 'Instagrammable' Christmas.
