Christmas is so full of love and joy. But among the gifts, all the amazing food, in between the drinks and the crappy Christmas TV, in most households, there’s someone missing. There’s the missing spark of someone that should be there that isn’t. As well as the love and the joy, Christmas can also be a really hard time for grief when you’ve had a loved one who’s died.
For us as a family, Christmas was the most exciting time of them all. My sister and brother loved Christmas a lot but Charlotte definitely took her love and passion to another level 😂My sister would have already watched muppets Christmas carol back in September and the tree up in November. There was no colour coordinated tree for her, it was a mishmash of everything christmassy lol. Every room needed decorating, her dog and herself too. Cue all the xmas niknaks & the things i would look at in a shop and think who would buy that? Oh yeah my sister would 😂 I miss that, a lot.
I miss the build up, excitement & competing to buy the best presents. I felt incredibly guilty for even being able to have a Christmas let alone celebrate it. Christmas won’t have its true meaning again but my sister was the Christmas I knew and loved. I’m pretty sure she was a secret elf with her shortness 😂 sorry charlotte 🫶🏻.
But I wanted to share a few things which have helped include my siblings over Christmas 🕊️ First being a special tree ornament. I hang these near the angel, on the top of the tree, makes it more special to me. 👼 #2023
