London, November 25 : A hotel chain in the UK is offering discount to customers who will check in their mothers-in-law over Christmas.

Branches of Holiday Inn or Holiday Inn Express hotels have come up with a special room rate for mothers-in-law between December 23 and 29.

Clients can avail a discount of as much as 25 per cent with the promise of a stress-free festive period, reports Sky News.

Relationship expert Kirsten Gronning said the number of arguments shoot up fivefold during Christmas.

She said: "Christmas can be an extremely stressful period, especially for the family planning and catering for it." (ANI)
