The holidays bring so many mixed emotions when you’ve lost someone you love. I’m excited that my holiday shopping list is getting shorter, but I also feel the sadness when I walk past our tree twinkling with all the ornaments of the Christmases gone by. I love buying gifts for my beautiful boys but still ache to buy one new Elmo for my Zack. I love the celebration with family and friends, but I feel an emptiness that stays with me all through December.
It’s tough to balance the sadness I feel, with the desire to make the holidays really special for our family. I love our Christmas traditions and they bring us such comfort as we make our way through another season. We are a family who loves to watch movies together and some of the best ways of making the holidays a bit sweeter is by baking with my boys and enjoying them while we watch one of these family holiday movies and snuggle by the fire!
Why don’t you try one of these great recipes for these adorable Christmas pretzel treats or my Nana’s famous Scottish shortbread and browse these family movies from Netflix!
