The last christmas I was able to spend with my dad's side of the family. My nieces and nephews gathered around the tree - absolutely spoiled rotten by their parents and their second cousin who had a tech salary and no responsibilities. Their faces when they were able to open the gifts of the sort I wish I could have had -- a robotics kit, a goo-making set, a diamond painting, a nintendo switch game. Being able to give them cool things that I hope they continued to enjoy for months to come. The feeling of sitting around a bonfire made of present-trash, beer in hand, talking about nothing. It's how I feel Christmas should be.
