Top 10 Ways to Remember Those Who Have Died at Christmas and the Holidays

The ornament you choose may be an old one, one that your loved one particularly liked, or it may be one that is new just for this occasion.

Make your own special ornament from many choices.
Hang a seed ornament or wreath for the birds

Let family and friends add notes that can be shared later.
Have everyone include small mementos that somehow reminds them of the love one who has died or reminds them of a particular story.
Pick a time that seems right perhaps on Christmas Eve, on Christmas afternoon after presents are opened or another time to sit around, read the notes and letters, share the mementos and favorite and remember your loved one.
