Holidays can bring out the best and the worst in us. For people with obsessive-compulsive tendencies holiday expectations can elicit more control and perfectionism, blocking the joy we hope for, and inviting the disappointments we dread. But some give up hope completely, wish for nothing, and just try to get through the season with as little psychological damage as possible. We explore all these possibilities, and we listen in as Ebenezer Scrooge consults psychiatrist Carl Jung to try to understand his frightening dreams about Christmas past, present and future.
