Oh I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. This time of year is particularly poignant with thinking this may be the last Christmas. It makes any joy be mixed with sadness. You are doing the right thing to make it as good as possible for him and your children. I would take lots of pictures and some video too. I would also be ready for some breakdowns and sadness from both of you. Get plenty of rest and watch out on alcohol consumption which can make things harder. I find all kinds of times my mind will go to a dark place - in the pub with friends and suddenly I think “maybe in a year I’ll be in this same scene and my husband will be gone and how can I bear it?” As I said alcohol tends to make these feelings worse. Mostly I try to stay in the present and enjoy the present moment. There will be plenty of time for being sad later. All best wishes to you and sending you a big hug.
