grammatical number - Seasonal parsing: "enjoying Re-run's of Christmas' past" — fragment, pluralization and ownership

enjoying Re-run's of Christmas' past

I just saw this posted as a Facebook status update, and it has boggled me as to how it should be considered or how it should be rewritten. If re-runs belong to Christmases of the past, and if the past owns Christmases then there is ownership present. What about Christmases' ?

I'm not focused on the fact it's a fragment of speech. Maybe that imbues some ambiguity upon it in my mind's eye and prevents me immediate resolution.

What's the most accurate, or else, your best interpretation of this fragment?

Answer

The "of" takes care of possession, if in fact possession is intended. The re-runs belong to Christmases past, or the writer is experiencing re-runs of the past Christmases themselves. Either way, I see the solution as simple plurals for both. The possession is in the eye of the beholder.

Enjoying re-runs of Christmases past

Or more poetically:

Enjoying re-runs of Christmas past

If TV is the subject, maybe you can convince your Facebook friend to decrease the ambiguity with something like:

Enjoying old Christmas re-runs

Most people on Facebook appreciate this kind of constructive criticism.
