It can be one of the trickiest things to navigate as a new couple: spending time with both of your families during holidays. Holidays are filled with memories and traditions specific to each group, so figuring out how best to enjoy them together is important. Birkat Elyon<\/a> has been a go-to destination for couples in the market for beautiful, high-quality cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings<\/a>, so here are some tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPLIT THE DAY IN HALF<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If both families are nearby, you can spend time with both.\nTake Thanksgiving, for example: have dinner with one group, then hit up the\nnext for dessert. For Christmas, maybe do Christmas Eve at one home and a\nChristmas brunch the next day with the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROTATE THE BIG HOLIDAYS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on where the families live, it might be simpler to\nrotate the major holidays on an every-other-year basis, rather than spending\nmost of the day in the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to designate one holiday for your family\nand another for your partner\u2019s clan. For example, maybe one loves celebrating\nthe Fourth of July and the other prefers Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOST EVERYONE AT YOUR PLACE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have the space, and assuming that both families get\nalong, host a holiday gathering in your home. Granted, it can be a lot of work,\nso ensure that both you and your spouse work together to make it a memorable\nevent \u2013 one than can begin a tradition all your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GET CREATIVE WITH THE CALENDAR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throw out the calendar and consider celebrating with your\nfamilies on a different day, like doing a Christmas get-together the weekend\nafter. It\u2019s a way to extend the joy of the holiday for everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the thorniest part of sharing holidays can be bringing the subject up. \u00a0Some family members may be upset about changing traditions; guilt trips may be thrown your way. It\u2019s important to be empathetic but to maintain a united front as a couple. Share what you\u2019ve decided to do rather than asking for their OK; it sets a boundary and will help ensure a smooth transition to making new holiday memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
