About my closest friends, how they were doing, and about those who had lost family going through the holiday this year, and I appreciated this chance to be together in warmth with chocolate, gathered around the glowing screen and watching the Doctor together. I thought about my own family, separated around the country. Even though things aren’t perfect, its no reason to avoid taking the chance to be with the people you care about most. Of course, its not real, but both she and the Doctor learn that the way they’ve been trying to protect each others emotions by avoiding each other isn’t healthy, and they’d both regret missing those times together. So many families know this feeling, to be there with a family member, and know “this is the last time this holiday will happen with them, the last time we’ll spend it together.” or worse, to look back and think, “I wish I’d knew that was the last time we’d have that time together.” Any Christmas could be last Christmas, so its important to treasure it when you have it.Ĭlara gets the chance in this episode to spend one last perfect Christmas, even if only for a little, with her deceased boyfriend Danny Pink, a chance so many of us have wished for in reality. It was going to be his last Thanksgiving, and everyone knew it. It wasn’t that long ago that I was over at a friend’s house for a different holiday, spending it with them and watching their father deteriorate from cancer.
You see, as they say in the episode, every Christmas is Last Christmas.

For once we could all sit around the TV as a family, and enjoy the program, which was special enough… But it also tought me something important about the holiday, and made me treasure Christmas time more than I already had. Most of the time the balance is off, but this year Doctor Who nailed it.
Its much harder to create an honest Christmas special, one that fits the tone of the rest of the television show, while still being something you could watch on Christmas with your family. Some go the shlock route, and make their episodes as gross or irreverent as possible, and some go sentimental and go so over the top in telling the audience the meaning of Christmas that there is a danger of injury from eye-rolling.
