I was in the mountains of sardinia freezing my little socks off. To compensate I ate and drank as tradition dictates.

"A little wine, a little cheese, a brutal game of Scrabble... I'm officially done with that game now."

I even played cards with my wife's uncle who is a bit difficult at the best of times. I left the table having been called 'useless' and being told 'you don't know what you're doing'. So much for family fun at Christmas. You won't catch me at the card table next year when Uncle Mario's in town! :-)
