I am sorry for your loss but life must go on. Never forget your mom as she still is the most important person in your life. Despite her death, you should not change anything in the way you celebrate. Actually, what you should do is prepare a little present for her and put it under the tree as if she was still there.

Also, when you have your Christmas dinner, place her dish on the table where she used to sit and light a candle in front of her dish. This way, you, your siblings (if you have any) and your dad will celebrate this Christmas as if she was still with you because in your heart, she will always be there.

Maintain your family traditions and share with each other memories of those traditions with your mom. Let your dad know you're both in this together, you're both hurting, but you'll both survive and move on. The best thing you can do is be there for each other. If either needs to cry, just hold that person. Never push the person to move faster than that person can handle at the time.

First of all, sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad when I was your age, and I remember the holidays were just brutal that first year after he was gone. There is no right or wrong way for you and your Dad to celebrate the holidays. Just try to communicate your feelings and support each other. You are both hurting so it's important to lean on each other so to speak.
