Sorry, I have to giggle. A big hickey when you are due to spend Christmas with the family. I've not had or given a hickey in YEARS!!
Advice: Yes turtlenecks are prolly your best option. If you really don't want to go down that road, then get yourself to a cosmetics store and get some GREEN foundation. Yep you heard right - Green. It'll take the red/purple out of the hickey but shouldn't be too obvious as makeup.
