I can usually tell pretty quickly - like within a few days or so - if a BCP is going to affect me aversely with regard to mood. Of course Christmas can be a lousy time of year for a lot of people, but you should be able to tell if you are feeling ESPECIALLY lousy about it... if crying out of the blue is unusual for you, it could be the BCPs.
FWIW when I went on Mircette... the next DAY I was driving home from work/school and I swear I hit ever single friggin red light and I was getting SO SO SO angry... it wasn 't like me... usually I don't care that much as long as I have good music, which i did... and i later thought, must be the BCP... my mood stayed crappy for a few days past that and I went off the BCP. But I could tell exactly when things went downhill, mentally, on that pill, and it was very, very fast.

"We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbing, with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip..."
