Holiday Judgment Phobia 

Though looking forward to seeing family at traditional holiday gatherings, you agonize that you might feel judged even though you are usually quite happy with your life as it is. Also known by the phrase "Who needs an inner critic when there are outer ones who seem more than happy to have me feeling criticized enough?"

Holiday Judgment Phobia can exist at any age, and cover a wide range of areas feeling raw and exposed for judgment. For example, weight, leg length, hair style, hair color, clothing, shoes, jewelry, make-up, boyfriend, girlfriend, pregnancy, weight, skin, tattoos, piercings, nails, children, manners, vocabulary, education, employment, spouse, ex-spouse, welfare, dishes, food choices, unemployment, pets, living arrangements, friends, enemies, politics, religion, travel, dreams, goals, and current lifestyle choices in general.

holidayophobia 

a fear of holidays of any sort. This includes christmas and/or hanukkah, kwanzaa, ramadan, etc. Basically any holiday involving family time with relatives outside the immediate family, cheesy music related to said holiday, excessive pointless traditions, or cleaning the house for guests you don't actually enjoy spending 'quality' time with. Symptoms include: going out of one's way to avoid unenjoyable activities, awkward or emotion filled conversations, and head aches, excessive sleep, and hypochondria.

"Whoa, your dad has baaaad holidayophobia."

"Do you really have the swine flu? Or is it just your holidayophobia acting up?"
