Sorry that you're feeling down. I'd try to think of amusing anecdotes to cheer you up but given the painful/sad/loving/happy family connotations this time has for you, it might seem disrespectful.
For me this time of year is much the same. I haven't had any close family die recently, that I know of, but that's precisely the thing. I wouldn't know. Huge family rift, a few years back. Now there's just me, my little sister and my parents. Christmas for me is about that. Just being with my close family and pushing everything else aside for a while. A moment of peace.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your aunt.
