As you know, one of my favorite things is Doctors Who. I have watched, and re-watched, all the episodes (the episode from "modern" Who which started back up in 2005). One of the traditions Doctor Who has had in the "modern" era is to have a Christmas episode which is loosely related to Christmas. One of my favorite episodes is "Last Christmas".
Anyway, one of the quotes from this episode is:
"Do you know why people get together at Christmas? Because every time they do it might be the last time. Every Christmas is last Christmas. And this is ours. This is a bonus. This is extra."
I try to remember that every Christmas is Last Christmas. Depressing, or just realistic? or both?

Are you back in your house?? Well it could be your last or it could be your
35th from last one never knows. But I love Christmas.
I think it can be both sad and realistic. I think as you get older and your parents get older, it's easier to wonder if this is the last holiday we'll have with them. But even beyond that there is the last Christmas all the kids are home, the last Christmas in a given house, the last Christmas we did xyz. The good thing is that some traditions get carried and sometimes you make new traditions.
