This is all about growing up in this grinding incessant context of punishment; as a kid I had exactly no way to judge that something not actually intended as a punishment wasn't just more being punished. It's got exactly nothing to do with holidays or religion except this is another place it happened in childhood.
holidays certainly help with realizing how much space in my brain is taken up with;
"I MUST do something I'm not really interested in/so even without an authority as negative as in childhood, my assumptions kick in/this mandatory thing is good but between how I don't want to do it and how I'm innately BAD, I'll invariably fail/and when I do so I'll be punished, probably disproportionately/so now I have even less interest in doing it, and therefore more certainty I'll fuck up and be punished."
"there are more of these small footprints"
"great, we're gonna make camp in the middle of a pixie nest"
"pixies can be okay"
"we're gonna be up all night with them singing about HERE COMES YOUR MAN"
