Widowed partner gets low at Xmas

My lovely new boyfriend lost his wife to cancer 5 years ago now. We've been together for 6 months, and he is amazing, talks about his late wife sometimes and seems to be recovering well. But December is his hardest month, so he tells me, with her birthday on the 1st and Xmas at the end, with other tough dates in the middle. I want to support him, take his mind off it, anything, does anyone have any ideas? He thinks he won't be good company tomorrow, so I shouldn't be with him, but he's not sure and is finding it impossible to decide whether to have his usual sad day on his own or spend the day with me. Any advice gratefully received!!

How about a bit of both ?? Let him have his day and see if he wants to do something in the evening ?
