Christmas is an excellent time to revisit the past, especially if you go back to your childhood home, because you often feel like a kid again. The traditions and environment are the same, and it’s cool to use them as a measuring stick for how much you’ve changed. It’s also, like you said, a chance to go through those old boxes of photos and My Little Ponies to just do something with them already. It’s cleansing.

I’d like to go through all my old writing and other things I’ve saved at home as well. I think it’s a good time in my life to revisit the past, do a huge cleaning and get rid of some of the mental and physical clutter.
