People admire those that do things they like. When a LOT of people like the same person it can turn into a feedback loop. Couple that with parasocial relationships and easy communication via the Internet and it can easily blow up. We’re also programmed to like people that are popular because others like them.
The yule parts are good. The lights, the family, the drinking. Do what we can to chase the terror of the long night away.
