I have a similar history dilli, my mum, my Aunt and my baby all died around Christmas.
Used to make it hard to bear others being happy at Christmas then I made a conscious decision to remember other Christmases, the time my mum dropped the turkey as she was sliding it into the oven and had to wrestle it off the dog. She didn't tell us until after we had all eaten our fill. My Aunt would make the most marvelous trifles on Boxing Day, so alcoholic that we would be positively tipsy if we had seconds, and finally my baby ..that was a hard one to cope with until we had Peter.
Somehow coping with the sad memories is now easier and I hope you too can find peace and the strength to celebrate Christmas with Natalie this year. <<hugs>>
