[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 614730, member: 3493"] I miss my old tradition of Jewish Christmas. We would go out for Chinese food and a movie. However, for the past 20+ years, I have accommodated H's Catholic upbringing. Years ago, I used to decorate the tree. I had cute ornaments that had cutouts for pictures of the kids, tons of tinsel, nothing religious, etc. Since H and I have been having marital issues, I have stepped back on that and if he gets a tree, fine. If not, fine, too. H has promised me that when his mom passes, we can do Jewish Christmas again. However, I really love my mother in law so I hope she will be around for many more years (she will be 90 soon). We compromise by having Chinese food on the 26th, which was my dad's birthday. As for a fantasy gift, I would love for H to have a brain transplant and realize he really wants to live where there is never snow. My dream is to never see snow in person ever again after I retire. Ironically, two other Jewish people and II organize the office holiday breakfast where we give gifts to the staff, none of whom is Jewish. [/QUOTE]
