I like looking at Xmas lights, wishing people "Happy Holidays", putting up my decos, many of which have happy memories attached, making a lovely feast if only for me & the dogs......this year, lobster! Similarily I had a great Thanksgiving except I roasted a duck. It may not make you happy, that is very sad. I prefer to enjoy whatever/wherever I can find it

We name days to celebrate something or someone, like Mother's day and Father's day. Why not have a day set aside to celebrate something? I'll take a day off with pay any day. A company I used to work for gave Easter Monday off. I was thrilled to have a day off where most others were working, I didn't give a damn that the day before was special to xians. Nothing will "make" you happy unless you choose to be happy. If you want, call Xmas Winter Solstice. Does that help any?
