Being around family members during the Christmas holiday season can lead to recollections of great memories or bring back fresh reminders of family members who have died.

The Hart Family has unfortunately lost many family members, and the current national TV link to Stu Hart's family legacy is Smackdown diva Natalya. It's a great deal of pressure, and Natalya says remembering the lost family members was a necessary step for her this holiday season.

"I saw the faces of friends and family that have come and gone...and I wish that they were still here today," Natalya said on her WWE Universe blog. "I hadn't forgotten about them, but tucked them away into my memory so I wouldn't be reminded of how hard it was to let them go."

Natalya says her thoughts were prompted by looking back at old pictures when she went home to Calgary for Christmas. "These people I have lost put things in perspective for me that our lives are more fragile than we know and to make each day count," she said.

The certainly future Divas champion says she's asked all the time how to be a WWE diva, or at least what it takes to be successful, considering the amount of hard work she put into training to become a wrestler.

"I find that the answer they are looking for is not one I am capable of giving," she said. "Most people don't really want the truth."
