sorry to hear about your loss, but be comforted by the fact that Santa is probably even a little jealous of your beard.

Gavin, my condolences to you for your loss. Twice I have lost a loved one, just before Christmas, and though it is hard any time of year, during the holidays it can can be especially difficult. However I hope that for you that very thing that makes the holiday season so important, the gathering of your beloved family and friends, can help you get through your time of loss.

Hang in there my friend. All the best to you and your family.
