In the olden days, political seasons and Christmas season had no variance as both seasons were seen as festivities and exchange of pleasantries.
Maybe that was then, but as of now, things have change and we don't have to trust each other again in politics, except for the festive celebration and this have to be on those related to us whom we could confide trust in, in politics, everyone is struggling for the survival of himself at all cost without minding if at others detriment or not, all they want is the satisfaction in the achievement of what they are pursuing.
