The baby was due on Christmas day, 3 days before my own birthday. No one else ever mentions it. I don't even think anyone remembers. But I remember. I have not celebrated Christmas since that year. 2005. Every year at Christmas time I feel nervous.

That's horribly sad that you miscarried at such a late stage of pregnancy, BethRags. Do you ever do anything to memorialize the baby on the day you lost him/her? Perhaps if you did more formally recognize that day, then Christmas could be looked at differently in the future. Or could you create a special tradition on Christmas that would help you cope with the due date better?
