{sigh} Yeah, what you said... I know the holidays are really hard for a lot of people. I give in to holiday blues myself with some regularity. But that's no excuse to wallow in one's misery, and to do one's level best to make sure nobody else has a good time either. Some people seem to bitterly resent the barest allusion to holiday rituals, but I have a hard time accepting that sensitivity to the needs of others means I must excise from my vocabulary the words "tree," "presents," "cookies," "party," or anything else that might indicate I actually managed to find something fun to do.
