Holiday Scheduling!
We are splitting our time the next two weeks between my hometown and my husband's. I just realized I have all sorts of little traditions with my nieces over Christmas break- that are all just "girl" things. Some of these things have been going on for nearly 20 years. Should I plan on things for my husband to do during those times, or just let him fend for himself?? I wouldn't have worried about it last year- my dad would have kept him entertained!
I'm sure we will end up at a bar one or two nights with the older ones, my siblings and our cousins (my oldest nieces are 21, 22 & 25). And I am sure we will meet up with some friends, too.
I'm sure he'll be fine and everything will work out- but it's really truly our first Christmas together! 3 years ago he flew in to my parents after Christmas for a couple of days, 2 years ago we weren't together at all, last year I flew to his parents house after Christmas for a couple of days... but this is the first time we have to "blend" our traditions!
Re: Holiday Scheduling!
Is there any way you can include him in some of the traditions with your nieces? Or maybe take one or two of the traditions and change them up a bit so that he can be included as well? I don't think you'd want him feeling left out.
Maybe there is something in teh area you can schedule for him to do with one of your male relatives (like go to the shooting range or something liek that) while you do your girly stuff?

This! Anytime DH and I go visit my parents and I have a "date" with my lilttle sister or girl friends for "girly" things, I find somethinng for my brothers to do something with him (paintball, bowling, video games, etc). It's really helped them bond and DH feels like he's really accepted and loved by my family.
