How do I turn down a work Christmas Dinner invitation?

I work a generic office job. The whole team is going to go out somewhere for Christmas Dinner (undetermined time and location). It will likely be during a lunch break. I'm not paid enough for this job as it is, nevermind spending my lunch forced to make conversation with Jill from recruitment. I'd rather pull my teeth. How do I get out of this without looking like a dick?
