But only I think because he can't be with his daughter who lives out of state and is always busy or gone.

I love to decorate and look at the fairy lights, for me it's just a peaceful thing, I am not religious, but I am spiritual more a naturalist.

Gift wise I am down to a few small gifts and that's all for the kids and grandkids, my husband and I only buy some silly fun things in stockings. Every year this part gets less and less.

That said my husband knows I love the holiday so he puts up a few lights and we cut a tree down at a farm in the mountains. He likes to see me happy and I appreciate all he does for me, I definitely don't expect or want him to do more than he does. Throughout the year I do things for him I know he likes. I guess that's part of trying to make a marriage work.

I am sorry you hate it, maybe when it's not holiday time you can talk to her make a compromise.
