Holly, Jolly

I think I'm making a pretty valiant effort here. My Christmas shopping is complete. I'm watching Christmas movies. I've decorated a gingerbread house and eaten some necessary festive treats in moderation. I've attended holiday parties and see a couple more in my very near future. My family is planning various Christmassy outings. I listen to jovial tunes every chance I get. Why is it then that I'm struggling to feel like it's Christmas? Nonetheless, I am happily engaged in quality time spent with family and friends.
