Random observations
Return of the King was immensely long, but good enough to carry it. I like this "Let's go see a movie on Christmas Day" tradition we seem to have evolved.
On the other hand, it's funny - I don't miss my family particularly until I run into someone else's family being family in ways I don't recall my family particularly ever being, and then I get melancholy and ridiculous. ACat's theory is I miss THEIR family instead - he could be right. *G*
Next year we are going to actually get off our butts and take the trouble and time we never got around to this year, and do something to mark the season as something more than "The Cold Time When We Get Days Off Work". Not that days off work aren't nice, but... I think the unexpected family-missing thing triggered that too.
Anyhow, all in all, it was a very good Christmas, spent with friends and my sweetheart, and we're making our own traditions and our own family. May everyone else be as happy with their holidays.
