Hello ladies,
This will be our second Christmas without Mateo. Last year I wanted nothing to do with the holidays that I simply would stay home instead of going to family/friends gatherings. This year, however, I feel a bit less ‘numb’ and more present for my two living boys. My question is, we have a stocking for each of them and I am struggling with what to put in Mateo’s - I know it is all symbolic but I don’t want to see his empty while the other two are full of hotwheels and chocolate! My sister suggested flower seeds so next spring we can add them to his garden (isn’t that a lovely idea!) If you do stockings for your sweet babies gone too soon, what do you put in them? Wishing you all a gentle holiday season.

Isabel,
We do a stocking for our son, Joseph, and we put a bouquet of flowers in it each year. A similar idea to your sister's, I guess!

Sending warm thoughts--

We don’t do stockings, but this year I made an ornament for all my kids, dead and living ❤️
That might be an option for you aswell :)
