I believe the holidays are hardest for widows or widowers especially if the lost spouse was the one who made the holidays special. My second husband did and I can't help but feel melancholy thinking about his happy face during those days. It was like having three sons, not two. He was like a kid himself...and so enjoyed Christmas and all that went with it.
