Me too. Visiting my in-laws, who always kept their house really
hot and stuffy, was always uncomfortable, and Christmas Day (my
MIL believed in the British One-Room Christmas, in which you
insist the visiting relatives turn up as early in the morning as
physically possible, and keep them corralled all together in the
living room ALL DAY with only bathroom breaks, till after
supper, the fourth meal of the day, they are allowed to go home
to bed) was a true ordeal: mind-blowing boredom in the stuffy
heat of below-decks-on-a-tramp-steamer-in-the-tropics. I only
put my foot down when my MIL suggested we stay overnight (we
only lived a few miles away) so DH and I could both 'relax and
have a drink or two'. I said, only if you open the spare room
window: I don't like to sleep with the window closed anyway and
know I CANNOT sleep at all in the temperature you stoke your
house to. MIL and step-FIL said that wouldn't be possible
because all the upstairs windows were kept locked and they had
actually forgotten where the keys were. No sleepover, then, said
I, and stuck to that.

That sounds like it's right from the Christmas episode of Very
British Problems (on Netflix...I loved it)
