What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of the circus? Magic? Contortionists? Tents, lights and excitement? Stunts and human cannonballs? And on top of all this lively spectacle... Have you ever stopped to think about how circus families are so much like your own?

Everyone has an assigned role in those endless Christmas dinners and lunches: The contortionist mum, the nan who gives the biggest kisses in the world, the uncle whose bit of a clown... Does it sound familiar? Every family is a circus and each and every one of them has a special talent.
This Christmas, welcome to the family circus.
