Couldn't agree with Dee more.
I'm a bit further ahead than you, loulou, over 6 months now, but I haven't looked forward to Christmas this much in many, many years. I have 2 excited little girls, and I'm already feeling the Christmas spirit more than I can remember. I'm seeing this as a chance to reconnect with my inner child. Drinking through Christmas just dulls everything, adds a veil between me and the experience. A layer of adult cynicism "this experience isn't truly worthwhile unless I'm drunk". So I guess for me the MO part of FOMO comes from being drunk, not being sober. Sober is where the real fun party is at. I can't wait
