You're so right though.

It's about the secret garden.

It feels like the secret garden in that it's like a child who has everything and nothing.

A child who is surrounded by luxury, but totally deprived of love.

But that's what happens.

But Monica is not Dickon.

And Ross, but is Ross Dickon?

No, Ross is not Dickon.

Anyway, the analogy falls down there.

But it has that texture of loneliness to it.

Chandra is a very lonely character.

And I think that perhaps the reason that Christmas feels like Chandra's time is because Christmas is a time where if you're lonely, you get double lonely.

where it feels like everybody else has a million invitations and a million plans.

And it feels like, you know, I don't think it's a coincidence that the last Christmas episode is that one where he's in Tulsa, where it's like Chandler could be alone for Christmas, something he's kind of professed to want this entire time.

He's very much like, leave me out of Christmas.

Leave me out of Thanksgiving.

I don't want to be involved.

If I eat a turkey, I'll be sick.

I want to eat mac and cheese by myself.

And he's on his own in a room with no Christmas.
