The time off work part is definitely one of the best parts of Christmas. I particularly like that because almost everyone is off, unlike other holidays one doesn't come back to a full inbox.
In addition to the skinning and the jointing, hares are liable to contain a lot of blood... There's a very funny scene in Arthur Ransome's "The Picts and the Martyrs" in which two children are given a rabbit, which they have to gut and skin before they can cook it.
The pot came with the tree - I was rather impressed with Homebase for that.
