LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Candace Cameron Bure has spoken about her blessings, which she found in her friends, family and faith, while going through a “difficult year”. The 46-year-old actress told Fox News Digital that experiencing “a lot of loss this year” was not easy for her, which included the death of Bob Saget, who played her father’s role in the ‘Full House’. Saget died in January in Florida after performing at a stand-up show.

“It felt like a lot of loss this year. When you have those friends that are there and show up; I'm grateful. I'm so grateful to my friends, my true friends and my family, of course. Just seeing what so many of us and our loved ones have gone through over the last three years … I'm so, so grateful for my health and my family's health. And I am grateful for true friendship,” she stated.
The ‘Aurora Teagarden Mysteries’ star went on to mention her faith in God as she noted, “My faith is so the core and foundation of who I am that sometimes I don't verbally acknowledge it because it's just my assumption. It's like, well, ‘If you get Candace, you get faith.’ It's one and the same. It is with me all the time. It is in all that I do. I'm very grateful for God's protection and love.”
Bure also discussed featuring in numerous Christmas movies. She told Fox News Digital, “I never imagined that I would be known for a Christmas movie career. It wasn't a thing back then, and then we made it a thing, which was pretty cool. Since then, it's like, I've done one every year.
“I love it. It truly is [my] favorite time of the year. I love all the things associated with Christmas and how it makes people feel. Warm and happy and merry … and also emotional, depending on what's happened during the seasons or loved ones that have you've lost. It just brings up a lot of emotions. To be associated with something that is so beautiful has been an incredible part of my career.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Bure talked about her way of celebrating Christmas. She said, “We always go to our Christmas Eve service. It's always a candle lit ceremony, which is just phenomenal. The Christmas message itself is just this beautiful reminder … and it's a night where it's very easy to invite friends to church.”
“We bring all the food, and then we cook, and we sit down and eat, talk and share stories with about 50 to 60 people that live at this specific shelter that we always team up. We sit around the fire pit, and we sing Christmas carols,” the author added.
