ASAK, I married a revert a few years ago. Before she reverted she never practiced a religion nor was educated with a religion, never went to a church, and she considered herself agnostic. However, her family celebrated christmas although they never viewed it as a religious holiday (only celebrating to exchange gifts, put up decorations and see family etc.). After we got married we still visit her parents on the holidays out of respect for them, however, my wife is very depressed and is considering leaving if she does not get to put any xmas decorations in our house (christmas tree, wreath, oranaments, etc.). I am completely against putting up xmas decorations in our house. She has proposed that for the month of december each year she put up icicle lights in the front of the house along the roof and also put lights in the shape of a crescent and star in the windows to clearly show what religion we are. Is this an acceptable compromise? Thank you and any advice will be greatly appreciated.
