He means he tries to survive the holiday season. In the US, the time from Thanksgiving(late November) until New Year's Day(January 1) is a very busy time. He could be saying it's rough because he's so busy, or he could be saying it's rough because he's alone and has no one to share the holidays with.

Generally this is a busy time for most American families. There are many holidays we celebrate in a short amount of time. Most of this time is spent with family and friends, but working adults find it difficult to manage all this time. Thanksgiving is the last Thursday of November, Christmas is December 25, and New Year's Eve/Day is December 31-January 1. So within about 1 month there are 3 major holidays, each with their own traditions.
