Oh the irony of loving winter but disliking the associated holidays. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The "Christmas Season" is Fall, not Winter*. The only reason the holiday isn't literally over when the Winter season starts is that the Christians got their calendar screwed up and hold the holiday on a fixed date instead of on the solstice where it belongs.

(*Or "Spring, not Summer" for upside-down people, I suppose.)
