Dear MOTIVATION: As Christmas Eve and Day approaches, I feel an overwhelming desire to honor my late husband during our family dinner. I want his spirit to be part of our celebration, but I also want to maintain a joyful atmosphere. What are some heartwarming ways to acknowledge his memory without dampening the holiday spirit?
