6 weeks pregnant at Christmas- how do I keep it under wraps?

I just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant (pending a GP visit) and we're going to my mother's house, with my partner's mother, and all of my gigantic family of siblings, for Christmas.
I would be ok telling my family to be honest but partner is very determined that he doesn't want to say anything until it is a bit later, and surer. I guess it's understandable. We all have a good few drinks etc when we get together, and I think it's going to be hard to get away with drinking nothing, not smoking (I have been a smoker for years now) and not being directly asked if I'm preggo. I'm pretty sure I will be directly asked and I cannot for the life of me lie. Can anyone give any advice on this? Anyone had to hide early pregnancy at a big family event and if so, what did you do? Maybe it is a peculiarly Irish problem that not drinking is such a giveaway...?
