Mum died 6 weeks ago and it seems no-one is very interested in Xmas. I am a little scared of it myself but mum had 18 Grandkids who are obviously still expecting a big bang! and she loved being with everyone. I'd like to make this Xmas not so bad or really special somehow. Any ideas?

What would your Mum have wanted? She would want her family to be happy and enjoy Christmas and that is what you should do.
Do it for your mum, she wouldn’t have wanted any of you to miss Christmas, particularly her grandchildren.
It will help you too. You will be so busy it will help to ease your mind (you may forget for a minute at least).
Burn a candle for your mum.
Next Christmas will be a little easier….believe me, I know.
I wish you all the best
That’s sad. Well my grandma died 2 days before my birthday and it’s on november. My mummy just spent the christmas with me,my sister,my daddy and my maltipoo puppy. We enojyed it but we still wished grandma was here
Since she loved being with everyone on Christmas I would still get everyone together and maybe someone could say something special for your mom. When I was younger my grandma died and she was the only one that got everyone together for Christmas and when she died we didn’t have that anymore and it confused me. So I’d say do a normal Christmas in memory of your mother because that is what she would want.
you should all try and carry on doing what you would normally do at christmas for the children. It will be hard for you and your siblings the first of anything is hard and your mam will be with you in your hearts, small children don’t fully understand so you will have to make the best for them maybe you could go to church on christmas eve and light a candle for your mam.
Hope you all get through it and not be to painful.
Do it for the grandkids, if not for yourself.
You should make all the foods/drinks that your mum would of made. And try Celebrate the way you always do. Except add something new..Maybe a scavenger hunt w/treasure at the end. You can send the kids in some of the most hilarious places for the next clue. We set up 3 separate hunts, so everyone wasn’t looking in the same place.
I have had 3 deaths in my family and so i know how it feels.We just carried on as usual but thought and discussed about them if you want?
I am so very sorry that your mum died!
it’s very hard. we lost my great grampa about a month before christmas. christmas was HIS holiday. he loved it. the first one without him was very rough, but we all knew he would want us to get together and have fun, not dwell on the fact he wasn’t there. as hard as it was, we did just that. even though he wasn’t there physically, he was there in spirit. we put a picture of him on the mantel and had all of the foods he loved at christmas time.
