When you and your spouse tied the knot, how did you merge traditions? I don't mean going to his family for Thanksgiving and yours for Christmas, but as in the way you do things in your own house.
When is the tree put up? Do you open one gift Christmas Eve? Especially for those that merged faiths, how did you do it? I have a friend who has a blue/silver Jewish kitchen and a red/green Christmas tree-filled living room. On the traditions that you disagreed with, did one of you win out or did you merely merge them into your own tradition?

I believe the best way is to just try and balance them. Write out the traditions that mean the most to each of you. Then you can be sure that those are included them in you own tradition. Nobodies traditions are the same. Therefore the onces you and your husband create can be a mixture of both of them.
