Seems like it's been forever since the last episode, doesn't it? I've got to say, this was the best Christmas Special I've ever seen. I loved the holiday title card; it actually kinda reminded me of Psych's Christmas episode, where the opening credits adn theme song were all Christmas-y!
All he ever wanted was his brother. He had known it was wrong to tell Sam the truth- about monsters, about Santa- but he did it anyway. He just wanted to have someone to talk to about the important stuff. He was tired of bearing his father's burden alone.

He tried to make it better. He knew that Sam appreciated the effort, and that was enough for Dean. Besides, he'd gotten what he really wanted, even in the absence of actual gifts or his father. He didn't have to keep dad's secret anymore. He didn't have to lie.
Roughly sixteen years later, he wanted something else. He wanted the old days, just one last time. He played the death card again, something he was getting quite good at, and his wish was granted. No matter how much he was ignored and shunned and belittled through the year, somehow, Dean always managed to get what he wanted for Christmas. It was because of this that he knew he was selfish.
