Mostly, I'd say just the pressure, the whole, You will be happy and joyful no matter what!! vibe that gets shoved down everyone's throats during the holiday season. If you're not in that place emotionally, it's more jarring than at other times of the year. When I was a kid, it was all about the fun, the presents, the family meal. Now, I go to a few parties, but I don't emotionally invest in it all like I used to. Too exhausting.
