SOMETIME on Christmas Day, Terri Irwin will have a quiet word with her husband.
"I'll just tell Steve how much we love him and miss him and how much we wish he were here with us," Terri said. "But I'll also let him know that he is still very much a part of our Christmas Day and very much a part of our family."
It has been three and a half months since the death of Steve Irwin from injuries caused by a stingray barb, and as the Irwin family faces its first Christmas without him, Terri is determined to make it a happy one.
"It's very important to me that Bindi and Robert have a wonderful day, that they feel very comforted, very loved, and very happy on this most special of days," she said.
"We know Steve won't be with us this year physically, but I'm sure he'll be sharing it with us in spirit."
Terri said she would be taking a break from Australia Zoo and official duties before travelling to the US with her children in January as part of the "G'day USA" Australia Week festivities.
