After Losing A Loved One, Has The Magic Of Christmas Ever Seemed To Fade?
Posted by admin on November 19th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
It did, when I lost my father in 1986, and then losing my mother back in 2001 really blew out the candle. It doesn’t have as much meaning. It isn’t about them, i know. It’s about Jesus Christ, and the magic and beauty of the world’s first Christmas that should shine bright in my life. Still, my parents, and MOST parents, LIVE for Christmas, and while Christmas will always be my favorite time of year, it has lost it’s luster a bit. It’s just a little sign that we aren’t getting any younger, and that time marches on. in 20 years or so, i’d like to think i’ll be here still, but using a cane, or a walker, to get around with. Of course my depends will leak, and my hearing aids will need their batteries recharged.

My condolences to your losses.
Yes, in some respects, Christmas does loose some of its’ magic from loved ones that have left this earth. But inside of you still lives your mother and father. You should pass those traditions and make new memories for their grandchildren–just as though they would have, would they still be alive. Whether they be your own children or nieces and nephews. You can spread cheer and stories of Christmases long ago.
My mother was also a driving force of the Christmas spirit. She passed away in 1984. She never got to meet her grandchildren, but I still try to make Christmas as grand an event as she would have liked!
This will be my second year without my mother. She past away 2005 of lung cancer. I took it hard. I have children of my own, 15, 10, and 9 so Christmas does’nt stop.
I decorated my tree the sameway I did last year – crying the whole time.
I believe that Christmas is a time of reflection – that is why it can seem so hard. We think about all the people that should be with us and aren’t anymore.
I pray that you have a wonderful Christmas – you will have your moments – but I pray that the Lord gives you back the luster!!!
I would have to agree that is does not have that certain luster it once has had.I lost my first child and my grandmother both just before Christmas and since then I haven’t felt the same. I have had another child and I have to try to be merry and joyful for her sake. As I was told a time ago, “Cherish your memories and ones dear to you. They live within your heart and are always with you”. I hope this will help and try to have a Very Merry Christmas.
YES. IT IS HARD GETTING OLDER!!!! Christmas will never have the same magic it had when we were children. Yes your depends may leak and yes you might not be able to hear…….BUT won’t it be better than not being here to see your kids and grand children so excited?
Yes, getting older is hard, it takes longer to haul Xmas up and down the stairs, and the day will come when I can’t do that anymore. I will have to find storage upstairs, or not do it at all.
I wish my Mom could see my trees and decorations. She would be pleased. She died in 1994. Dad tried his best to fill the void, but all he could do was comment on how many things I had, and how much they cost. He didn’t get it, really.
Mom always wanted a brick house, I have one, she missed living to see it by 4 years, but Dad got to see it. Even I missed the boat. I always wanted a ranch style house, and then I could put up outside lights along the roof. I have it, and I am too old to be climbing ladders. There are professional services that do that, but, middle class people like me can’t afford that.
So, I decorate for me, and have a good Xmas anyway.At least I can still hear the carols, no hearing aide, yet!
Merry Christmas!
Yes, it loses it’s luster a bit as we get older.
My mom died the week before Christmas. It’s still hard, but you gotta remember it’s Jesus’ birthday. She used to bake him a birthday cake every Christmas. Hmmmm…..memories.
actually christmas has nothing to do with jesus. it is a pagan holiday with pagan rituals. the church lied and made it jesus’s birthday so everyone would stop celibrating pagan beliefs.
my question is, if you call poop a flower does that make it different?
of course not, so isnt christmas still a pagan holiday?
