Let me preface this by saying I am not usually a massive believer in woo. I believe there is "something" after death but I don't necessarily believe in spirits. Usually, there is a rational, non-woo explanation but I cannot think of one this time.
We lost DH a couple of years ago. This is our first proper Christmas without him. We didn't have him last year but equally, none of us were really in a Christmas mood. We did dinner and presents but we didn't decorate or really feel it, iyswim?
This year the DDs have decorated and got out decorations that belonged to H and his mum. DD2 is wearing his Christmas jumper and has put up extra photos of him.
The DDs were opening presents from his sister. Me and my mum were chatting about his sister, and what her Christmas plans were this year. All the dogs were at my feet because I had their Christmas breakfast and was dishing it out while chatting and watching the DDs. The cats were upstairs. No one had been in the kitchen for at least an hour since I made a coffee this morning.
I had a pile of baking trays on the back of the oven. They were right at the back, not near the edge. The oven has not been on since yesterday afternoon so it was not cooling. No windows or doors were open, so no breezes (plus these are cast iron trays so not exactly light and flimsy)
All of a sudden, while we were talking about his family, two of the trays flew off the oven and landed around 2 feet away from the oven. Other than it being H announcing his presence I have no explanation. If it is possible for him to be somewhere he would be here. He always spent Christmas at our house, even after we separated.
