I hope the holidays and the coming year brings you joy and peace. Just rely on your strength of character and sense of humor:)
This will be the year we whip out all the holiday stories from when we were little. My brother and I always wanted the scraggly trees, like in the Charlie Brown Christmas special. Some of our trees were truly hilarious. :-)
It will be ten years since my own mother's passing, and the holidays are always so bittersweet. But, I do agree that withdrawing is the worst alternative.
She definitely wouldn't have wanted us to stop celebrating! Last year I dreaded the holidays, this year I'm looking forward to them. I know it's going to be hard, and there will *certainly* be tears, but we have a lot of happy memories and funny stories to get us through. :-)
