Not the Christian spouse part, but my husband does not enjoy the holiday. He tried to hide from it for the most part. Then, when it's all over, I ask him, "How was it" and he replies, "Actually, it was nice." :)<br /><br />Wishing you love this holiday, Janeen.

It kind of leaves me with a somewhat bare bones holiday but one that I enjoy more (when the husband isn't grumbling about my celebrating it to begin with and exposing our children to those evil pagan practices). And the kids are kind of in the middle wanting to please both parents and not quite sure how. I don't push them to celebrate with me but it is natural that they see their friends and cousins celebrate it and want to join in. I do get them presents because it's something I enjoy doing as well. It's not an easy time of year to wade through though living with someone who is very hostile towards the holiday.Janeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085755609836623027noreply@blogger.com
