i get those too... but not for the same reason. When i was a kid (up until i probably 19) we had HUGE family gatherings at our house... 40-50 people would come by and "Santa" would too. it was such a warm and filling feeling. Now we have moved, family has moved... family has died.. and it is usually just my mom my dad and i in florida. This year my aunt and uncle and two cousins are coming so i'm hoping that will bring back the "family" feeling
