Go to work and forget about it!
After that, go shopping...
Should work...

What a heart ache, I'm so sorry this happened to your family.
Maybe you can think of one or two favorite things that were lost but might be replaceable. Go online and to e-bay and see if you can find it. It might not be the one your Dad gave you (or what ever the history is of the item) but it could be a surrogate to spark the memory and warm fuzzy feeling.
Maybe if you have any pictures of the items you could frame them for family members.
The other ways to save the Holiday's sounds cliche and trite but are known to help.
Focus on what you still have. Your family, health etc.
Maybe make a donation no mater how small to a woman's shelter, children's home, or food pantry. You can't get your stuff back but it may feel good to help others in need.
I wish you a Merrier Christmas and a better next year.

I hate to hear of this, but you should be thankful that you have each other.I know nobody wants to think about this,however in these days he could have hurt your family also.I say start anew. It's only objects. No one can take away your memories.You could pull out old pics,that's always a nice thing to do. Take time to make decorations.Not only will it take your mind off your troubles,it will make the house festive.Another thing you coulds do is volunteer at a soup kitchen or something like that.It would give you a sense of someone out there worse off than you.It makes you Thankful for what you have.Your most cherished posessions,your family!I hope you have a great Christmas & take a minute to think about how all this could have been worse.Then you can see how it's not so bad.

Keep in mind that you have all that really matters. You are with your loved ones , all are healthy (I presume) and all the rest is just a bonus anyway. And because its a bonus it is replacable. Start a new collect of things, and the items that you lost symbolized a memory, so get a journal and write down all those memories and how you recieved them and how they made you feel. And then you never truely lose those items. It is a crappy thing to lose all the things that give you comfort, but you will receive new things this holiday and you will beging creating new cherished memories!! Hang in there!!

Be thankful for your health and remember how many families lose a family member during the holidays, all those things are replaceable, yes maybe they are memories but you are alive and you still have your Mom, so for her sake make the most of the holidays and Merry Christmas to you both, I'm sure you will get through it. sorry for your sadness.

there became a time while the trip journeys did get me down, it became a time earlier i became married and have been given my family members, i think of the trip journeys get human beings down through loneliness, in case you have not have been given somebody to share the days with that is not elementary to get by using them, surprisingly while there are this kind of super style of others around with family members, yet what i might tell a guy or woman in temper or that way is to "basically take it at some point at a time" And continuously remember there is often somebody else in this worldwide plenty much less sadder than your self.... stay candy & reliable Merry Chirstmas.....

I'm sorry about the unfortunate incident. People do stupid and mean things.... but, both of you are (presumably) in good health and that's something to be thankful. There are things you still have (and realize you have them) that many people wish they had the same. Fortunately, your loss were _things_. Perhaps some of them were irreplaceable, but still were _things_.

Just remember, You and your mother are safe. Things are just things and can be replaced if you decide you really can't live without them.
Hug your Mom. Thank her for leaving the jerk.
Good Luck

Wow. I am really sorry about that. I know we don't know eachother...but that doesn't mean I don't have feelings. Spending time with your best friend or family...go to the movies...throw toilet paper all over someone's house WITHOUT getting caught ALWAYS cheers me up, lol. I hope this cheers you up.
