Sounds like you dealt with things in a very mature way then. Much better than I would've done, all things considered. I'll send lots of happy thoughts your way over the holidays.
I think that, as a tribute to the Asylum, this year I'm going to cover my tree with decorations that represent each of the users here. For instance, I'll put an adorable plush panda up to represent you, a giant pink heart to represent Moe, a black rubber snake for Totem, a ***** for Skeet, etc. That way you can all be a part of my holiday season in spirit if not in the flesh. :)
