Usually around this time of year is when I’m at my happiest, Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. Being around my family and friends and loved ones just enjoying life.

That's just depression lying to you my friend. How long has this been going on? If more then 1-2 months please let your doc know as there is treatment.
