My Dad adored Christmas time and since his very sudden death the Christmas run up is always bitter sweet for me. I have a 10 month old and a 3.5 year old who never got to meet their amazing Grandpa and the gap in our lives in more obvious than ever to me this time of year. I make a huge fuss over Christmas like he did, but I'm looking for new Christmas traditions to share as a family by way of remembering and staying close to Dad. We get a new bauble for the tree each year, not usually anything particularly special, just something that catches our eye. I love Christmas films but not sure what DC can watch (Nghtmare Before Xmas too scary??). We go to the big Cathedral in church to light a candle for Dad. What do you do?
