I've been thinking about it more because I do fine at summer barbecues I organize and the same group of people are there. The difference over the holidays is that my niece and nephew are there and they are poorly behaved and it totally stresses me out. That, and the whole thing of gift giving drives me crazy. I would have boozed it away, but didn't want to be the "drunk uncle" at the party.
