Their last “perfect” Christmas had been the Christmas before Ron started at Hogwarts. That was the last Christmas that he, his five brothers, Ginny and their parents had spent that day holiday together.
He wished he could recall happy memories from that day, but all he could recall was himself and Fred being total prats about not getting new broom sticks.
Oh how he wished they could go back and do it all over again.
But they couldn’t. Percy was back, but Fred was gone forever.
There would never be another perfect Weasley Christmas again.

She saw his pain even though he tried to hide in behind an overly cheerful smile.
She knew that Christmas had lost its joy for him the day his twin had died.
She was determined, however, to reintroduce him to Christmas make him remember why it was his favorite holiday (after April Fool’s Day, of course).
She would never give up; even if it took her until her dying day.
---
He knew what she was doing and for several years, he didn’t feel any impact on her attempts.
But then, on their third Christmas as husband and wife, she told him, she was pregnant and he felt joy for the first time.
He watched her and the baby grow until he was born in late August and named Fred.
He was torn that Christmas, between mourning for his lost twin and wanting to share Christmas with his son.
It wasn’t until the following Christmas that the joy he had felt in Christmas past, filled him. He knew that Fred was looking down on him and his son and smiling.
