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.

Get the holiday bulk mug.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.
