Drinking and Christmas

I don't know if this is the case for you, but Christmas generally brings out the worst behavior re: getting sloppy drunk and embarrassing oneself in front of one's family, then getting indignant and righteous about it before storming off in a huff, only to foster thinly veiled anger/anxiety about family for half the year, until things get calm enough to do it all over again.  This year, instead, I'll drink apple juice... don don don, because christmas happens to be my 6 month mark of sobriety, and I didn't even plan it that way.
