what disease can my friend get 2 days before xmas so she doesnt have to see her family?

faking illness is the only way to go, i said i would do some research on the net as my suggestion of smallpox didnt go down too well.

can anyone help with a not so serious people are worried enough to go round but too bad and contageous for her to spend the day with bickering family disease please?

gasroeneteritis

scarletina i think pruni!

cellulitis

very vague

get some modroc and make a plaster for her ankle though she'd have to live with it for a couple of days!

I got sinusitis one Christmas Day - that's a real "leave me alone" one.
