I couldn't agree more about the heightened worries that come with holiday get-togethers. I think there's a tendency to apply symbolic importance to every simple behavior at this time of year, as though familial closeness could ever be assessed by one family meal or movie outing. I love your idea of being more "together" when you sat apart. We all have to trust that the love is there, even when it's not directly in the seat next to us. Emily, wonderful post.

Until I starting dating Andy, I was a firm middle-seat in Row 20-something kind of person, but now in my late 40s I fully appreciate his affection for the aisle seat in Row 6. My kids, on the other hand, want to be in the center of the very back row with their cousins and ALL the popcorn. Sadly, because my kids are still in elementary school, we saw Frozen, which was actually pretty good but certainly not Catching Fire. Still hoping to see that some time soon. Happy Holidays!!
