Hi Loulou - sure there's plenty of us feeling exactly the same way - norm for me would be none stop boozing from Christmas Eve until the day after New Years day and like you say whilst cooking the dinner is always the norm - from quite early on and all through the day.
Be quite interesting to see how the day pans out sober and looking forward to it - my only slight concern at present is as I have just posted elsewhere is my first night out on NYE but something I need to do to show to myself I can do it.
I'm certain we are going to have deal with huge cravings at times over the festive period but the buzz of having fun with your 2 boys will keep you going for sure.
Hope you have a great and sober Christmas and lets keep posting here to keep each other going with it :-)
Prob not the easiest time of the year but we'll get through it I'm sure and what a great way to start 2016 !!
