Christmas memory tradition

[2weeksholiday]

My sister died in July, she was 36. We weren’t close in the end, she was an alcoholic, but that doesn’t mean I don’t miss her every day. I grieve for the sad waste of her life and the best friends that we once were. My children miss her too.
I would like to start a tradition to remember her by, but can’t think what. We didn’t see her for the past few Christmases, so my children don’t have a particular Christmas memory of her.
Thank you for your help

You could do a toast to her at xmas dinner, or add something to your meal that was her favourite. A bauble with her name on it to hang on the tree so she is with you during the festive time. Play her favourite board game, watch a film she liked or that you watched together.

Is any of that any good?

My partner died 3 years ago just after Christmas. Our children buy a Christmas decoration to remember him.

The first year it was an outdoor light up Penguin. The second year it was a new Christmas tree. This year it was disney tsum tsum Christmas tree decorations.

I buy a Christmas decoration for by DD who died each year, and one for my DD who is still with me, I try to get similar ones for each of them, and love to get them out each year.

I agree bizarrely my last conversation with Dad was about kingfishers as he loved to photograph birds.the night he was dying we saw one.Then I found a kingfisher bauble to put on my tree tonight....it made me cry.so sorry for your losses.

Thanks everyone xx

Im so very sorry for the loss of your sister and the years ahead lost also
After losing my Stepmum Sep of last year (my 3rd significant loss) i started the tradition of baubles/decorations for the tree.
Added my 4th one this year as i lost my Aunt suddenly the beggining of this month .

I hope you find a nice way to remember your sister at christmas and it brings some comfort xxx
