Merry Christmas HN! Let us come together for the day, regardless of our intellectual stances and tribal identities. Let the Linux nerds break bread with the Mac hipsters. May the Haskell devs write bindings for JS libraries. And the VC dreamers shake the hands of the determined bootstrappers. Peace amongst nerds, for a single day. Merry Christmas.

I know that the holidays can be a rough time for some people, so I want to send out some love to those who are struggling right now. Hang in there for all of us

Can you elaborate on this? I've never heard of such a phenomenon. What aspect of the holidays is rough for some?

edit: This is a legitimate question, in case it wasn't obvious.

edit 2: Got it, no questions allowed. Apologies.

People who lost someone, people who are separated from their loved ones, people who are introvert but must act sociable, people who are depressed but must act chipper or else be asked questions, people who are alone but see all other people getting together for parties, people that hate their families but cannot escape the obligatory gathering, people who are poor but feel pressure to give gifts and have a lavish meal.

The list is endless.

Please don't add bits like that to HN comments. They're off topic and break the guidelines and will lead to further downvotes.

Re your question, there's lots of discussion out there:

Typical HN...

I enjoy the holidays but I know my sister is going to be harassed to death by my grandma.
