That's true, but it happened in 1909, a few months before Twain's own death,
so the fact doesn't really have a lot of explanatory power re earlier
Christmases.

My understanding has always been simply that Susie's death cast a pall --
probably to a pathological degree -- over the holidays the family had
formerly celebrated so joyously.
