I'm not saying there's ever a good time of year, just the period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day (in addition to Easter) was my MIL's time to shine. As a 1st gen Sicilian American, the Holidays were such an important thing to her and she had the desire to make sure everyone was happy and fed. Her absence this time of year is magnified. As I imagine is your father's.

You've got our thoughts and prayers, LUV.
