Ouch drunk insulting your boss, not good!! I used to find Christmas really stressful and now I try to have no plan. No expectations, no deception. Last year we ended up with a few friends having dinner, it was lovely. The year before that I was stuck in a snow storm anyway, and joined other friends who were also away from home. With a family things are different but a lot of the Christmas joy we see on TV is sold to us so bad it can get really stressful to try and reach those marketing standards.
