Does anyone have any idea’s about how to get my fiance excited about christmas?

He doesn’t want to participate in any of my traditions, or make any of our own. It hurts my feelings and makes us feel less like a family. Decorating, making cookies, and taking santa pictures may sound corny, but they are all important to me and I really want him to participate. I don’t have anyone else.

Thanks for your help!

Is there a reason for not wanting to celebrate Christmas? I would try to figuree that out first. If there isn’t a reason then I would just explain to him about how celebrating christmas is so important to you. I would play Christmas songs around the house too. That gets everyone in the mood for Christmas!

Thanks so much for replying!
He said his mom always did all the decorating and christmas stuff and it was always just kind of there. I have tried explaining but he says this is just the way it is and too bad for me if I don’t like it. You know the “don’t try to change me” card. Anyway I really think if he would just give it a try it could be nice and he would like it. *sigh*

Well try decorating yourself but make him a “go-for”. “Hey Honey, can you get me the light?” Sort of trick him into it. :P

Have you tried appealing to his masculine vanity? Think about what his strengths are and think of some uses for them. If he likes computers you can find ways for him to use them. If he likes tools you can find ways for him to be handy. This works very well in conjunction with TulipsDream’s suggestion, because it keeps him feeling important.
