[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 390772, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=darkslateblue]We both enjoy Halloween and we have a bit of a celebration over that with a bonfire, decorations, lots of H's favorite candies, etc. He loves being the family 'taster' when it comes to holiday treats, etc. He enjoys Thanksgiving, but only the food aspect. He enjoyed the Thanksgiving parade. I think he is feeling a bit disconnected from his family around the holidays - that may be a part of it. I think he thinks we're too commercial, though we are not at all. He hates that I ask the girls for lists but I do that so I don't waste money and have things to choose from so there are still surprises - not so I can go hogwild and buy them everything, which I don't.
