Recovery is something far different than not drinking and being in a bad mood. Not drinking by itself is a very normal phase of active alcoholism.

The "I-can-do-this-on-my-own" phase with just enough evidence to keep everyone reeled into that thinking. This family disease of alcoholism lies to the alcoholic and everyone else in the vicinity.

Whether he's drinking or not, Al-anon can be an important resource for friends and family.

It's okay for you to enjoy the holiday, even if someone else isn't.
