I put the decorations on the tree that we have for years. The ones my Mom bought and gave me and my brother are so dear to me now. I put mine on the tree and gave my brother his. And also my Mom made Christmas Stockings years ago and so I put mine out and gave my brothers to him too when I came across them. It was comforting to me. I got thru the holidays ok. Better than the first 2 since she my Mom has been gone. The one thing is this: I cannot talk about her hardly at all out loud. Is this normal? It makes me too emotional. I can say little things but I cannot discuss her or the past yet. I guess it doesn't matter and maybe I can in time. . Love, Angel
