I definately have increased anxiety around holiday seasons.
Not just holidays but birthdays too.
I think for me part of it is the added pressure to be "out there" and social. I am a social phobic, all my family know this but they somehow think I can just turn the anxiety off because its christmas/new year whatever it may be. Like I ever get a break from phobia!

And yes, I agree, also we all have this picture perfect idea of what the holidays are supposed to look like, but its never like that is it.

Sorry i dont have any solutions for you, but I definately relate.
