Kringlefreuden

The guilt and anger one feels when attempting to create Christmas holiday cheer, but experience a result that falls short of expectation.

It is a pseudogerman portmanteau of
"kringle,” representing Kris Kringle, and
"schadenfreude"

Don't let Karen's perfectly decorated
matcha sugar cookies make you feel
kringlefreuden, your snickerdoodles
probably taste better, anyway.
