The moment when adults reminisce about how great Christmas was as a child but then immediately snap out of it and then understand that life is a cruel game intended to beat you to your knees and rob you of your soul. This disenchanting realization then propels the frustrated grown-up into a desperate struggle to have fun participating in the "same old, same old" go-to's such as attending lame holiday parties, wearing ugly sweaters, overeating, and drinking their faces off.

Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.

Anatidaephobia is derived from the Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.
