Scabies mites only live for an hour or so off a warm host. December is way too far away for you to be concerned, if you don't have the symptoms already. Also, exposure means close body contact, skin to skin, either sexual or otherwise. You don't catch it from shaking hands, hanging coats next to each other, etc.
Take care.
