Is it normal to suffer psychological trauma from the lights, music and people? Real mental damage that takes a couple of months to recover from, with lots of meds.
It sounds like a case of overstimulation which, yeah, can be normal depending on other factors. Almost anyone can get overstimulated by something, seems the horrorday (I hate christmas as well but for a different reason) stuff is what causes overstimulation for you.
I bet a lot of dogs and cats get traumatized. I also think it's hard for people who are lonely and depressed, myself included.
I prefer to focus on the reason for the season rather than all the noise, lights and over commercialized hoopla.
