IT’S the time of year for peace on earth and goodwill to all men – a sentiment which Britney Spears is taking seriously.
Insiders have told us that the US pop star is keen to reach out to her sister Jamie Lynn over the festive period in a bid to finally bury the hatchet following their hellish relationship over the past few years.

It seems that Jamie Lynn has Ant and Dec to thank, because it was her short but emotional stint on I’m A Celebrity which made Britney think twice.
During the sisters’ years of mud-slinging, the Toxic singer said her younger sibling had “hurt me deeply” and was complicit in the conservatorship which handed control of her financial affairs to their dad Jamie.
A source said: “Britney was supportive of her sis going into the jungle and maintained interest while Jamie Lynn was in Oz.
“A lot of water has passed under that bridge — and given it is Christmas, Britney is keen to try and put some of their past issues to bed.
“On the few occasions when Jamie Lynn spoke about Britney in Australia, it was all positive. They are sisters at the end of the day, and even though they’ve had their fair share of run-ins, it is time to see if they can finally put the past behind them.
“Britney spent time with her mum in the summer and now she’d like to see if she could do the same with Jamie Lynn.
“It’s baby steps but it all seems positive.”
During her time in the jungle, where she struggled to adapt to life in the camp before leaving after 11 days due to medical reasons, Jamie Lynn told how she had received Britney’s blessing to take part.
When asked about their relationship, she said: “I think every family fights and has their stuff but I talked to her before I came here and we love each other.”
We’re sure a glass of mulled wine and a belly full of turkey will help things along too.
