I don't think it ever really gets easier but the way we deal with it changes over the years.
My first husband gave me a gorgeous framed photograph of my Mum the first Christmas after she died. His heart was in the right place and I really appreciated it but the timing, .. my god the timing 
I was so glad he'd saved it for a private gift exchange between the two of us. I was so touched and so upset at the same time. I think it would have been really difficult to hold my emotions at our large family gathering earlier that day.
I'm so glad to see your positive hopes for having a good Christmas 47of74 and I pray your memories comfort you throughout the holiday and days to follow.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
