Last year my 90 year old mother-in-law spent Christmas with us, but she sadly died in June. We have not felt much in a Christmas mood, as she really loved Christmas time and always went "over the top" to make everybody's day special. My daughter and I have decided to make our own "New Traditions" and remember MIL by enjoying the preparation for the celebrations.
My Mum is in the NH, so we'll visit her in small groups as she easily gets confused. I've decorated her room to make it look more festive and she liked looking at all her cards. It will be different without MIL, but we can try to recapture her Christmas spirit and enthusiasm. She always looked on the bright side of life, no matter what happened to her, even though she was widowed three times.
