sounds like you're just projecting, honestly
look, people need some good-natured drinking, feasting and gift-exchanging during the depths of winter in order to not go mad or depressed from the bleakness of it all. you don't need that kind of stimulus during the summer months precisely because it's so nice anyway - it'd be like taking medicine when you're healthy.
either you're being deliberately obtuse about the whole thing for some inexplicable reason, or else you've got a serious deficiency in your understanding of social customs
Ah, I think I've figured out my deficiency: no amount of good-natured drinking, feasting, and gift-exchanging stops me from going slightly mad-depressed from winter bleakness.
Does it reduce the extent to which you do? Could still be worth it for you if so.

Yes, I quite realize! I used to have a light box until I up and moved somewhere warmer and sunnier.
