Yeah I get where you're coming from. I think you still have an option to say no and define your boundaries a little more clearly without it being a huge deal, if thats something you want to consider.
I think the question to ask is: "Am I expected to enjoy this Christams party if I go? Because those kinds of events are really not my cup of tea."
Give them a strike two before you give them a taste.
