That's what happens when you live on the wrong side of this globe. In our hemisphere, there is no chance for Christmas pool parties. Unless you think of ice skating ON the pool instead of diving into it. Anyway, I'm an introvert, too, with a profound dislike for social gatherings. If I can't escape, I stick to my good friend Spanish Red, which has an anxiolytic effect on me without making me do funny things. Unless, the Spanish Red gets too much of a say.
