I hope you don't mind if I rant a little. But, I find Christmas to be a guilt producing holiday. No matter what I buy my parents will never like it. So, I usually end up buying them nothing. Also I don't make much which makes me buy cheap gifts for everybody. This adds guilt. Also it adds stress to my life. Stress plus me equals sadness to some degree. It is just the way that I function. So I always get sad for a part of the holiday season and feel a sense of relief once it is over.
