Holiday Anticipatory Angst 

Your desire to see your family at the annual gathering is offset by your anticipatory angst of being judged by your family though your own inner critic judges you mercilessly.
Holiday Anticipatory Angst includes a wide range of stress regardless of one's personal happiness or not so happiness in their own life situation. An example could be when you are pleased with yourself for making a decision regarding a difficult situation, yet have so much angst about revealing your choices at a large family gathering that you have thoughts of skipping the entire event.

holiday movie season

These are the movies released during the holiday season. They usually are released from about the second week of November to the third week of December, sometimes even on Christmas Day. These movies are usually family-friendly (and often holiday-themed) movies but may also be movies that are Oscar-worthy. This and the summer blockbuster season are the two most important in Hollywood.
Family-friendly movies such as those in the "Harry Potter" and "Chronicles of Narnia" movies are released during the holiday movie season. Oscar winners like "Titanic" are also released at this time.

Holiday Package Anxiety 

Freaking-out over that special online purchase that's supposed to be delivered before Christmas.
Husband: Why are you so on the edge this week? And what's up with the rash on your arms?

Wife: I'm waiting for Suzy's Christmas Gift to be delivered. I think I have HPA - Holiday Package Anxiety. According to Fed Ex, it's been in Philadelphia for 4 days. I knew I should have purchased her gift on Black Friday!

Holiday Romance 

a holiday romance is just temporary or casual relation between two strangers developed realistically in such a short space of time.
I wasn't sure if it was love at first sight or Just a holiday romance.

Holiday Fling

Being in a relationship (Really, it's just a label - it's actually the things that you two do together that count, i.e. kissing, hugging etc. etc.), and going off on a holiday (say, back home) of a certain predetermined short amount of time, oh say, 4 weeks. Then gradually losing feelings for your partner, and start seeing some another person. On HOLIDAY. And actually getting into a relationship with him/her during the last week of your holiday and actually start dragging it into a long distance relationship, while your partner still loves you like nothing he/she's ever loved before. When confronted, you say things like 'Oh I've given up so much thought about it' and 'I think this will work' and 'But at least I told you the truth throughout the whole time' and 'But I've fallen for him everytime I've gone back'
Nicole - "Yeah. I'm on a holiday fling with someone back home who I've fallen for everytime I've gone back and I decided to break off whatever that we've had and get into a long distance relationship with him on the last week of my holiday because I think this is going to work, and I've given it heaps of thought and I'm doing things that make me happy, like you told me to. Besides, I think we moved too fast. I know it's my fault and I wish I was never part of your life. I'm sorry."

Me - "WTF COULDN'T YOU HAVE WAITED ONE MORE FRICKING WEEK BEFORE YOU COME BACK THEN AT LEAST WE CAN FRICKING REBUILD OUR FEELINGS, RATHER THAN FUCKING AROUND WITH SOME GUY ON A HOLIDAY BACK HOME WHO'S A DOUCHEBAG WHO'S SOOOOOOOOOO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT FUCKING AROUND WITH YOU EVERYTIME YOU GO BACK?"

Nicole - "Oh but he's such a nice guy and he brings me places and takes me home and stuff and I love hanging out and drinking and having sleepovers with all guys when I go back home"

Me - "Errr WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF"

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS CRAZY FUCKING SHIT TO ME NICOLE? THIS IS NOT THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF. THIS IS NOT 'DOING THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY' - THIS. IS. CALLED. FUCKING. AROUND. It's only with extremely powerful and reluctant self-control that I don't call you a dirty and cheap 2-bit WHORE. Because that's what people who know the story think you are. And if you REALLY weren't 'over your ex' and 'still fcked in the head' then you would've distanced yourself from relationships. NOT GET INTO ONE ON FUCKING HOLIDAYS WHILE YOU WERE IN ONE WITH ME(We didn't label it but we did everything a couple would do). THANKS FOR FUCKING AROUND ON A 4 WEEK HOLIDAY AND NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO HOLD ON TO YOUR FEELINGS FOR FOUR. FRICKING. WEEKS. ENJOY FUCKING HIM EVERYTIME YOU GO BACK HOME FOR A HOLIDAY.
