Actually the suicide rate goes up during the holiday season, I had the joyful experience of spending Christmas in a State mental health feild unit once, the staff were ultra fearful of patient suicide during that period.
I enjoy iconocast reactions to Christmas , "Chipmonks roasting on an open fire." "Smash the Malls", "Walking around in womens underwear" just a few songs on my Christmas hit parade. As a kid I caught hell for changing the words to carols.
In medieval times, 'Hot cockles' was a popular Christmas game until Victorian era. In this game, other players give a blow to the blindfolded player, who had to guess the name of the person who gave the blow.

Why must the Victorians make everything sound dirty? I see through their sexually repressed airs and excessive layers of clothing!
your Christmas tree is a fiery death trap just waiting to happen.
Once when I was 10 I went out on a "Hell Raid" with my junior hoodlum friends on New Years Eve while our parents were out partying. The peak of the night was collecting discarded Christmas trees and stuffing them into expanded wire litter cans that lined Park Avenue and dragging them out into the middle of all four traffic lanes and torching them. We stopped traffic for about ten minutes, fun in the big city.
