Why is the festive season in the middle of a depressing and sad time of the year that is mainly grey, dull, cold and filled with commerce?

When the Church of Rome were looking to covert pagan heahens to Christianity they found them eating, drinking and being merry at this time of year celebrating something called Yule. And thus Yule was hijacked and then repackaged as Christmas.
