In this moment of holiday cheer and festivities, I know it can be difficult to see through the lies and expose the truth.

The real reason why they are upset with you not celebrating this time of year isn't that they are concerned about you. No, they are upset about you ruining the perfect holiday they had built up in their head.

While it might seem a little cruel and rude, it is a known issue that many people will say and do outrageous things in order to have the "perfect holiday."
