I am in the same boat. I am either something I did not expect or the opposite of what I thought I would be at this point. It could be anything triggering your negativity to the season. I hope you figure it out. I try to just float through this time of year. (Never was a big Christmas person after the age of 11-12. These days, I do it more for the traditions that give me comfort... usually because they remind me of that time before I lost my holiday glitter.)
