"There's a part of you that already can't wait for the holidays to be over with. However the sooner you accept that you're a key player in [the drama] and that skipping out on the show is simply not an option the better. One way or another, you'll be dragged (probably kicking and screaming) onto set and forced to perform. Why not just accept (and, indeed, embrace) the role you're stuck in, and do the best you can to deliver a brilliant, inspiring performance?"
