"Well, in ten days' time it will be over.  Christmas will finally be behind us for another year. We can then heave a sigh of relief.  The task of running around, trying to find suitable presents for everyone, will then be done.  Let's hope that we will be able to get through all the big meals and copious amounts of booze, without inflicting too much damage to our bodies.  If everything goes well, harmony within the family will not be too severely challenged.  In ten days' time it will all be over. Hooray!..."
