My fiance lost his father when she was 12yo and Christmas is not the happiest time of the year for her, this is our first christmas together and is just the two of us. I already got her a bunch of presents and reserved two nights for a resort in Orlando, what should I do or take her on Chrsitmas eve to make it really special and different for her?

So far your doing an amazing job. Every thing is soooo sweet and from the heart. If there is anyway that you can have a Christmas tree in your room in Orlando that would be amazing and have all the gifts around it, what a surprise. Something on Christmas Eve you could do that would be very heartfelt, is you could have an amazing dinner by the fire with candles everywhere. Make it very romantic! You could cook or order out from a very classy restaurant. The dinner could be full of telling stories of your childhood at Christmas time, Wonderful moments you ll always remember. Then at the right moment look into her eyes and tell her everything that you feel for her! Don't hold back.... let her see the love you have for her shining through your eyes. Then there are two things you could give her that I know would make her cry with tears of joy and love. One thing you could give her is an ornament that says our first Christmas together and your names engraved on it. And tell her that you cant wait to spend your Christmas with her for the first time. Another thing you could then give her at the right moment, is a beautiful silver locket, on the outside have her name engraved on it. And on the inside have a picture of her mom and dad together( if its possible a family picture of hers when she was young with everyone ,and on the other side a picture of the 2 of you together. And on the back of the locket you could have engraved either... you ll always be loved... or ill love you forever. Then turn on a good Christmas movie and just hold her all night.... or until you have to catch your plane. And then Christmas will be another surprise and adventure for her. I hope I could help you.....I hope you two have a very Merry Christmas! And I hope you know that what your doing for her ...... will touch her in such a way... I know she will never forget the love you showed her this season.

Call the hotel and see if you can drop off a small Christmas Tree before hand or check if they sell one in a gift shop there that can be brought up to the room. Have her presents under the tree before she gets there. Start a yearly ornament collection. Where you give her a special ornament every year. Maybe for your wedding you can give her a tree topper. (purchase this soon at a specialty Christmas or decorators store and tuck it away)This way you can spread Christmas magic all year and she will start to associate happy thoughts with Christmas. Maybe get a 4 foot table tree that is fairly full and put your special ornaments only on the tree. This way you can always have the ornaments displayed in a special way.

You might take her to Midnight Mass or to a special Christmas Eve church service in the evening. Ask or call around and see which church has a really special and beautiful Christmas Eve service.
You might also take her to a concert or ballet that day.
If you think it's appropriate, get her to share her Christmas memories about her father, either on Christmas Eve or earlier. Maybe you can convince her to do something special in memory of him: maybe a gift to a charity that reflects his interests, or a visit to an elderly home or a one-time gift to a man her father's age (your father, maybe?). Maybe this idea is outlandish, but if she can learn to incorporate her grief over her father into something new and beautiful--beauty for ashes, so to speak--it may help her cope better with her loss and with this season.

I don't understand how your fiance lost his father when she was 12. Is he/she male and female?
