MUCH healthier approach than forbidding Christmas. Sharing another’s traditions should not weaken your own.

Jennifer, I am in a similar spot, and I wonder what we will do when the parents-in-law are gone or unable to host Christmas in their own home due to illness or old age. Will we mourn what has become, tacitly, slowly, our own holiday and tradition? Or will we end up continuing it in our own homes? Already I find myself passing by the fir trees in the market, inhaling deeply and asking myself if I will eventually buy one for myself. At this point, is it even about our husbands anymore?
