Your Christmas sounds fab, other than the knee part :)
I will say that getting RIFfed from my last job was the best thing that ever happened to me professionally. I wound up at a new job with less pay, but certainly not a hardship, and doing work that was rewarding with a team of people that I enjoy endlessly. And, funnily enough, one of the reasons I kept putting up with my last job was that I adored the people I worked with. Several of them wound up landing at the same place I did :)
Stay positive, you've got the right idea in finding the good side of this rather than focusing on the downside.
