Christmas is about the prospects of the future. It is about feelings of well being today. Seeing a really bad tax bill that will harm the well being of the country does not help. I do not have any family to deal with. But there are families deeply divided in this political landscape. Somehow it is hard to imagine very divided families getting together and being terribly joyous.

Besides there are a lot of people who lives will be worse with GOP policies in force.
