I stayed as calm as I could and didn’t scream back, but I banished him to his room and told him not to come out until he could speak to me properly and apologize sincerely. Cue more screaming! I just walked away and ignored him. He got over it pretty fast but damn. If this is how he is at ten, true teenager hood is going to be a nightmare.

Good for you for refusing to engage in an argument. It's just impossible to tell know kids will behave during their teen years. My daughter was an angel child, a breeze as a teen, then went kind-of nuts in her 20's...emotionally up and down, touchy, unpredictable.
My son - I thought surely he would be a handful as a teen, because he was a wild child between 4 and 14. Turned out to be a really mellow teen and has remained a really mellow man.
I hope your Christmas spirit perks up
