They are killing me. Everyone is a happy family decorating, cooking, shopping. I don't have any ambition to put any decorations up.

I guess this is one positive to not having a TV, no annoying Christmas commercials telling me that it's time to be happy, social and productive. I can just judge myself based on my own expectation (high enough) instead of society's.
