Hello everyone, My husband passed away in 1995. Since then my sons families and I have gone away for Christmas. It started as an avoidance of missing my husband at Christmas and became a tradition. We take turns deciding where we will go. This year it was my turn and we are going to New Zealand, a place my husband loved. Had I my druthers we would go to my grandparents house in Cherry Tree for and extended family Christmas. Merry Christmas to all.
