What part of the holidays have you handed over to dh/so?

The years we cut our own tree, he cuts it down. Other years when we buy a precut tree, he drives it home. He also puts it in the stand and makes sure it's straight. Other than that, I do most of the shopping, wrapping, decorating, preparing and mailing cards, ALL of the baking (during which time he takes care of DD for the day/weekend). I do ask for his input on what to buy for DD. LOL, he pays for everything so I can't really complain too much! He's not really a detail guy, so if I want things done my way I have to do it myself.

Nada...I did it all. I've cut back a lot. Most of it was important to me but not to him anyway. This is the same man who runs around saying he loooooves christmas.

I don't do Christmas cards anymore either. I used to send over a hundred handmade cards every year. I just don't love it enough to keep doing it.

My husband shops for his mother and his sister. He does all the outdoor lights, and the lights for the tree inside. He cleans the house if we're hosting anything. And he brings all the boxes up from the basement!

We all decorate the house and the tree together. We both buy gifts for Quinn.

Quinn and I bake together.

I wrap gifts by myself.

Christmas is not stressful here at all. We have done a great job refusing to let ourselves be stressed out and overrun with tasks/doing. We each just do what we love or are good at and not a whole lot more.

Dh does all the cooking.  Yum.

He does most of the gift shopping and anything else I ask him to do. But we tend to keep things fairly simple.

He is in charge of very little - I'm too much of a control freak. He puts up the huge wreath outside and he is in charge of the meat for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. He is involved with the tree purchase and set up but once it's in the stand it's all mine.

He puts up the tree and the outside lights, after that it's all me. He never knows what gifts I get anyone or any other details. Back in the day he had to assemble all the toys, but those days are long gone. When Christmas is over he takes done the tree and outside lights and puts all the stuff back in the garage. I'm fairly sure he is just waiting for day the day when I say I don't want to bother with decorating at all.

We don't have a division of labor with Christmas. I am a SAHM, and he works, so I may do more because I am able to do more. He doesn't travel much for work anymore, so that gives him more time to do Christmas "chores" that he enjoys. We each pick what we want to do and do it. If we don't feel like doing it we don't. Saves lots of arguments/work!

Also, we have 3 daughters, so we let them get the tree and decorations out of the attic and put up the tree. I take it down on Jan. 1st, because if I didn't, it would be up for months (lazy kids!).

I usually like doing the cards, but I haven't been able to pick out good pictures this year. We were at the beach for 4 weeks, and I took way to many pictures! So overwhelming to go through them! Also, would you believe that it's harder to get 3 girls ages 11-17 to pose for pictures than it is to get 3 toddlers to pose (they were much easier to sit still when they were babies/toddlers haha!). So I may skip the cards if I can't pick out a decent picture.

We also get gift cards for everyone (but the kids) so that makes it easier. We travel on three separate 5 hr. trips between Thanksgiving, weekend before Christmas, Christmas, so no time to shop. The gift cards saves our sanity!

I think Christmas can be easy and fun if you don't worry about the stuff that stresses you out and just do what you enjoy!

DH usually does most of the decorating for Christmas. He puts the tree up and does the majority of the decorating of the tree as well as other decorating around the house. We don't put up lights outside so it is only the inside. This year, we didn't have Thanksgiving until yesterday. Today we finished getting the inside decorations out and I did most of that because DH was doing the annual outside clean up, cutting back the dead plants, etc. We don't do a lot of gift exchanging any more. We like it this way. We enjoy spending time together with friends and family without the stress of picking out just the right gift and worrying about whether it is good enough or will it go straight to the donation pile or trash. I still buy for a few family members like my mom and dad but for the most part, I give them consumables. We buy for the grandkids. It usually works out that I take care of that because I am the one running errands in locations where I can get their gifts at the same time. DH is usually at Home Depot or Lowe's are there aren't many grandkid gifts at those stores. LOL I quit sending cards about 4 years ago. It takes a long time to try to write a quick note in that many cards and I finally gave up. DH had maybe 2 or 3 that he would send and I was the one sending the other 75 or so.

All the cooking. I do everything else.

He's in charge of earning the majority of the money to pay for it all. He also does the buying of the tree...and doing outside lights, getting decorations down from the loft and adding food items to the shopping list  

He works ridiculously long hours and I work part time so it's fine with me that I do the majority.

It's just the two of us and we do most everything together, with me being mostly in charge. We only buy for the nieces and nephews on my side and they all get cash. His family all does wish lists early so we discuss the lists and buy off of there. I usually do the buying (online, watching for sales) and I do all of the wrapping except for my own gifts (I like to wrap). He does all of the grocery shopping (from my list) and we both do the cooking. As for the tree, we can only do live because of our cats. So on the years we stay home we both go get a live a tree. When we go to my Dad's for Christmas we don't put up a tree.

Dh does all of the outside lights ...

He brings up the decorations from the basement and sets the trees up for the girls and I ... doesn't do any decorating ...

Usually the only shopping he does is stocking stuffers for me but this year we were in the USA recently and did some together ... he also seems interested in going out together to do a bit more again ... I don't know what's gotten into him this year because I usually do it all myself  

We rotate hosting Christmas with SIL and this is our year ... dh will cook the turkey ... I'll do a lot of the other stuff but everyone brings something so it's no big deal   

This kind of sounds how things are shaping up with my SO. It's how many couples in my family do things, so I guess it's a learned thing.
