[tri-wings] Another Holiday Question

I have another question from someone who is a little too shy at the moment 
to ask herself.

This one is about Christmas Cards,
When you send out your Christmas Cards do you add your angels name?
If you do - how do your family and friends react? Does it make them 
uncomfortable and so avoid you over the holidays? I don't think I could bear 
for anyone else to tell me that I should get over it and move on........
If you used to do it - when did you stop?
When did your family and friends expect you to stop?

And how do I cope with all the friends who don't know yet that my baby has 
died? If I put her on the card I am afraid that I will get a lot of sympathy 
calls and I am not sure that I could handle that, at the same time I want 
them to call and not stay away - confused aren't I??

Also if I don't put her on the card they will also know that something is 
wrong because they will be expecting news about the new baby. Its hard to 
know what the right thing to do is........

I think I am beginning to hate Christmas and just want to cancel it this 
year.
And thank everyone for the great ideas about remembering her with ornaments. 
I really loved the idea of taking a Christmas tree to her grave. Sometimes I 
get so upset thinking of her all alone.
