[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing we do is find some little way to remember the person who passed.  My dad had a favorite candy from a very specific shop.  Every year we buy it and eat a piece, even though I'm pretty sure DS is the only one who likes it.   We always take one out of the box "for my dad".

My sister absolutely loved National Lampoon's Christmas vacation.  We watch it every Christmas Eve together.  Inevitably it leads to funny stories about my childhood.   It's a nice way to keep those memories alive.

And finally, just let yourself grieve.  It's ok if this holiday is low key and you're not as into it as you normally are.  Don't feel guilty.   Be open with your family and friends that you're struggling.  [/quote]

Same, PP! My dad LOVED that movie. I think he identified with the Christmas light scene where Clark plugs in the house lights for his elaborate rooftop display and nothing happens 😆 He passed away in 2023; DH and I watch that movie every December and remember how he used to howl with laughter at the Griswold light display.
