Remembering a Loved One at Christmas
Light a Candle
A common way to pay tribute to someone who has passed is to light a candle in their honour. And Christmas is the perfect time for having some beautiful candles about. Remember your loved one by arranging a special candle for them. Here are some ideas:- a candle crafted in their favourite colour
- made in a scent in which they liked
- personalised with their name or initials
- a candle with some beautiful angel candle wings added to signify their passing
Give a Special Gift in their Honour
Purchase a gift on behalf of your loved one and donate it to Kmart’s Wishing Tree Appeal. This great cause creates Christmas memories and magic for the less fortunate. You can make a difference to someone else’s life while honouring that of your special someone. The Christmas Cart has a beautiful range of Christmas gifts that would make great presents for this cause. To see more details about the Wishing Tree Appeal, you might like to visit their dedicated Facebook page.
