I'm sure we're all here for you.

Losing a parent just before the holiday season is rough. I know. My dad and I lost my mother very unexpectedly three weeks before Christmas 1995. So I've been there and done that!

But: You will get through it!

You know, Jeff and others with similar stories, my father died when I was 14, in November, and it didn't occur to me til now that that would have been a hard holday for me.  It must have been - I don't think I remember anything about it. 

I have no words to offer that I know for sure will fit your situation, Phillip.  But I know I have had some very happy holiday times since then.  Some years I make a bigger deal out of the holidays than others.  Whatever feels "right" for that year.  And for sure, there is always at least one moment during any family gathering, that I sense the holes left by people no longer there.
