The first Christmas after losing her mother, the house feels wrong in a way grief alone can’t explain.

She decorates out of obligation, not joy, surrounded by the same walls, the same old ornaments, and the same quiet that’s been growing louder every day. The house creaks. The radiators knock. Memories linger in places they shouldn’t. At first, it feels like loneliness playing tricks—familiar scents, music she doesn’t remember turning on, lights glowing when they shouldn’t.

But the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to explain what’s happening.

Something in the house seems to know her mother’s routines. Her traditions. Her timing. And as Christmas Eve approaches, the line between memory and presence begins to blur in ways that feel deeply personal—and impossible to ignore.

This isn’t a story about terror or danger. It’s about the kind of haunting that feels gentle… intentional… and just close enough to make you question whether some goodbyes are ever truly final.
