You could opt not to go to the pub. It's much easier then trying to resist temptation that's right in front of you. Stay home, watch a movie instead, stuff yourself with good food. Do you have supportive friends/family that will join you? Remember: It's one Christmas only, stick it out and next year will be much easier. Why are you worried about being a party pooper? I found that people who thought that aren't really worth hanging out with anyway. You will probably find that not many will even notice you not drinking.
Be the designated driver and that will be your present to others. But..... if you are really really worried - don't go out! It just won't be worth it. I wish you a very sober Christmas and New Year and if it turns out to be happy too, even better.
