I’ve never seen that show and would love to see the merriment and wonder through my niece and nephews eyes! Thanks so much for the opportunity.

I am having a hard time getting into the holiday spirit this year. My dad passed away this April.

My favorite part of the holidays are remembering the family members who have passed; my daughter, mother, brother, father, my sisters fiance, and mother and father in law. Our family gets together and decorates the tree with ornaments that represent each member and attaches a memory that we share. Our meal consists of dishes we grew up with and shared with our family over the years. Then we chose a special activity or show to enjoy and create more memories.
