Just don't do what I did on the first christmas that I spent apart from Judith when I was going out with her (she was in the middle east with her dad for the holiday period). I drank most of a litre bottle of vodka, put a dire straits CD on, and had to make a silly excuse to leave the room and go up to the bathroom so no-one saw me crying coz I missed her when a particular song came on!! I was quite drunk by this stage. I got through the rest of that bottle over the rest of the night and also more alcohol whilst attempting to play Brian Lara Cricket against my brother on my playstation!! :-)
