I hate Christmas.
I'm honestly trying to be civil to everyone, but the nearer I get to the deadline of actually leaving London to go and do the family festivities thing, the more tempted I get to pull a sickie.
I have actually done it a few times, and it's much better on my own at home with a takeaway, but my parents are getting on a bit now and I know I'd feel terrible if it turned out I missed their last one.
Still, I know I'll sit in a corner, or even in another room, not talking to anyone.
