    The metabolism of all animals slows down in the winter, some so much that they hibernate. The lack of sun and our distance from the sun has a lot to do with it.

    Instead of heeding our bodies and semi-hibernating, or getting the rest our bodies crave, we create all kinds of holidays to give ourselves a focus outside of ourselves. When the artificial holidays are over, we just crash from double exhaustion but at least we are well past the shortest day of the year by then.
