And on Sukkos we have a Simchas Bais HaSho'eva that: מִי שֶׁלֹא רָאָה שִׂמְחַת בֵּית הַשׁוֹאֵבָה, לֹא רָאָה שִׂמְחָה מימיו was on a level of Simcha like no other! All Chagim are Y'mei Simcha, but only Sukkos is Z'man Simchaseinu. Its very essence is Simcha! Chag HaSukkos is the Gan Eden mode that we start the year with, and we try to stick to it the entire year and make Geshmak everything we do! Our Mussar Sedarim, Chesed, Torah, Tefila. A Yid has to always tell himself "I love what I'm doing", especially in Avodas Hashem; and even his Yissurim have to be appreciated.
