"The season of joy is upon us, which basically means it's dark most of the time and that Christmas is coming. Again.
"Now don't get the wrong idea. Joy is a fine thing. Let's hear it for joy. It's when joy becomes mandatory that the trouble starts. And some people, heretical as it may seem, would just as soon sit out on all this joy, or at least the gift-giving part -- if others would only let them."
(Hubert Herring, for the NYT)
