Dog The Bounty Hunter honouring late wife Beth’s memory at Christmas with her decorations and recipes
DOG The Bounty Hunter is honouring his late wife Beth Chapman this Christmas by decorating their home with all of their memories from previous festivities.
The TV star is preparing to spend his first Christmas without Beth, who passed away in June this year.
According to TMZ, Dog - whose real name is Duane - has used all of his wife's old Christmas decorations to ensure their Colorado house feels festive this holiday season.
The 66-year-old is said to be spending December 25 with close family and friends, including his son Garry and daughter Bonnie Jo.
The Christmas ornaments won't be the only reminder of Beth, as the family are also using her recipes to cook up a festive feast.
Beth was the one who did all the cooking on Christmas Day, and on the menu were dishes such as deviled eggs with jalapenos, sweet potatoes with brown sugar and corn syrup, and homemade apple cider.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dog spoke about keeping Christmas the same in Beth's memory.
"Beth was old style, old-fashioned. So, you know, that means the tree and the presents. All the stockings hung up… so I'm trying to keep that exact tradition," he said.
"I've got it all decorated. All the stockings are hung. We always left - when the kids were young - cookies for Santa, and I think I'll do that this year also."

He added: "Every little ball that's on the tree, every ornament, you know, there's 20 years plus of ornaments on that tree, so as I hung them, I remembered where and when we bought each one."
Beth lost her battle with cancer on June 26 after being hospitalised and placed in a medically induced coma.
She was initially diagnosed with stage two throat cancer in September 2017.
