Britney Spears' life is so out of control, she will need a "miracle" to have a happy Christmas, according to her former assistant. A court commissioner has granted the troubled singer custody of her sons over the festive period, but an ex-employee insists the 26-year-old's severe mood swings will ruin the celebration for the tots.

The unnamed aide says, "Britney is now so dazed and confused, it would probably take a miracle to snap her back to reality. She will be with her sons for the festive day, but I seriously doubt we will see anything like a Christmas miracle. If Britney happens to be happy with life at that very moment, then it will be all sweetness and light as far as everyone else is concerned. If she happens to be on a downer then you can be sure life's going to be pretty miserable for all those around her, including her kids."

Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline will be back in court in February to resume the custody battle over their two children Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James.
