Your Doctor Who posts always cheer me up, such a thorough analysis, I love how you summed up the songs! I knew the lyrics in "The Stowaway" weren't like that for nothing, that would be, you know, WEIRD.
All of these things are leading somewhere -- this thread has been there from the very beginning of New Who ("I've never had a life like that," he says in "Father's Day"). Her family became his ("I don't do families," but he joined hers for Christmas and took her back there whenever she needed to go). She gave him light and hope when he needed it most. S3 made it clear that the Doctor/Rose love story hadn't ended with "Doomsday". I must admit that I'm very curious about the next chapter.
Oh, indeed, me too!
Furthermore, I was always considering the scene where he sits on the roof with Donna as a further proof that Rose's family became his:
THE DOCTOR (nodding in the direction of the Powell Estate) I spent Christmas Day just over there, the Powell Estate. With this... family. My friend, she had this family. Well, they were...
He pauses for a moment, lost in thought.
THE DOCTOR Still... gone now.
It feels like he almost said: "Well, they were... my family."
This scene also ties closely to the Christmas dinner scene because it's Christmas again and he must have remembered the dinner while being "lost in thought"...
That's what this scene has always been to me, anyway.
