Except I wouldn't have worded it as well as you have. I can completely relate. Luckily for me, The Husband is basically letting me decide which traditions to do (and, strangely enough, they're all the ones from MY childhood...HEE! HEE!)Run ANChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088821030860597465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36351539.post-36929725787816749422006-12-21T02:26:00.000-08:002006-12-21T02:26:00.000-08:00My "new" family christmas looks nothing like the o...My "new" family christmas looks nothing like the one I remember from childhood because my husband and I came from 2 totally different schools of thought about this time of year and have tried to meet in the middle. That has resulted in a very diulted version of what each of us wants. But the older my son gets the more it becomes about what HE wants ... and for me that is the ticket. The magical way he sees the holiday is what I love most :)Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049745050947936354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36351539.post-32300120956163709842006-12-20T08:28:00.000-08:002006-12-20T08:28:00.000-08:00yes, we're working out the santa business and so o...yes, we're working out the santa business and so on as we go, too. I think he'll just do stockings here. But I'm finding it tough to be in the spirit this year too - I think it's partly the weather, partly the lack of energy in general. The suddenly tighter budget doesn't help my rampant gift-giving impulses, either, as I'm busy reigning them in a bit and it's not that fun. Ah well, one of these days when I have time I will slip on some Boney M christmas and get to work on the last of the wrapping the way it should be done!kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36351539.post-13656449405516115332006-12-20T06:07:00.000-08:002006-12-20T06:07:00.000-08:00I really can relate to much of this post, especial...I really can relate to much of this post, especially the blending of traditions. In the years that I've been married it's been difficult for me to accommodate his family's traditions while trying to establish my own and make sure that I see my family, as well. His family is much, much larger than mine and trying to "fit" everyone in is rather difficult at times...but we always manage to make it work.<br /><br />Merry Christmas Jana...I do hope your holiday is rockin'.mamatuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02692442843330582571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36351539.post-79385291402565168672006-12-19T20:19:00.000-08:002006-12-19T20:19:00.000-08:00Of course in true woman like fashion, I've been sm...Of course in true woman like fashion, I've been smiling all day long. <br /><br />Cheer.

We have the same "issue" here at Casa Bump. I've had a hard time finding my festive place this year (sickened by commercial crap and how to keep mix my traditions with husbands). I think if we just hang onto that love of giving and sharing, we can build new melded traditions that we can call our own. Merry Christmas Jana and family.motherbumperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053978199395919666noreply@blogger.com
