<p>Three weeks off work, 7,000 calories, 15cm of snow and no more than 10 hours shopping are the perfect ingredients for a happy Christmas, according to one expert.</p>
<p>Chris Green, a mathematics teacher, compiled the formula for Oxfam to promote the charity&#8217;s Oxfam Unwrapped scheme which supports poor communities around the world.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;We conducted research into some of the key factors that people associate with Christmas and calculated optimum scores for each factor.</p>
<p>&#8220;The good news is that most factors that impact on Christmas happiness are well within our control. Also, despite a lot of people thinking that Christmas is overly materialistic these days, as the formula shows, these types of things aren&#8217;t that significant.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rick Lay, Oxfam Unwrapped campaign manager, said: &#8220;Christmas is the busiest time for Oxfam Unwrapped.</p>
<p>&#8220;Around 80% of the money we raise is given over the festive period, so we were really keen to find out what makes people happy at this time of year; what makes a perfect Christmas.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s great to see that ultimately, happiness at Christmas comes down to quite simple things, such as enjoying time off work to spend with friends and family.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Lay added: &#8220;With the act of giving gifts topping the happiness factors, we hope that it will make people realise that Christmas is a time they can make a real difference to the happiness of others.&#8221;</p>
