Hi PaulaSB12,
I'm sorry to hear about your mother
I have never gone solo at Christmas before, but I'm thinking of doing so this year.
My birthday is on Christmas day, and after a lot of very bad Birthday/Christmases (I spent this past one alone), I decided I'd like to do something for myself this year. I would love for that to be Disney. I think visiting the Magic Kingdom, followed by having dinner at the new Be our Guest Restaurant that should be open by that time sounds like a great way to spend the holiday

. I hope you can find some way to make the day special for yourself as well.
Take Care!
