A new camera? A PS4? Money? A Key Card top up?
Personally I'd like my Grandad back! First year without him and it'll be quite strange without him. Fortunately, he left all four of us quite a bit of money to sort of 'compensate' (as he would put it!) the loss this year! Generous guy.
The 1st Christmas and Birthday is always the hardest, but the pain will ease over time, it will be a decent enough christmas keeping his memory alive...
I went through similar in 2005, lost a friend in April, my Granddad in September and Uncle 3 weeks after my Granddad, but I got through it with funny stories and funny memories about him...
I am getting 2 Darlo shirts, a google chromecast for my telly, couple pair of pants
Christmas for me has become too commercial in recent years, another money making machine(Black Friday, Cyber Monday(whatever it is called), we lose sight of what Christmas is about...FAMILY, if my family and friends are ok and in good health then it don't matter about much else...Gifts are an added bonus...
I am surprised I haven't become a Jehovahs Witness by now, as, for years I never believed in Xmas
