Overwhelming Myself with Christmas

I got married in April and this is my first Christmas with my husband I have never been with anyone other than my parents for Christmas, and I don't know how my husband has spent Christmas in the past I think I am overwhelming myself in trying to make it perfect for him. I am playing all my christmas playlists, I am planning on making a gingerbread house with him we have watched Frosty the Snowman and we also watched A Christmas Carol. We aren't able to have a tree this year I am okay with that. I just cant wait till the 25th!

For a man shall leave his mother and the woman shall leave her family and the two shall become one flesh. Time to start your own traditions and make them wonderful to your children. Many years ago we couldn't afford a Christmas tree so I made an cradle out of some scrap wood. We found some hay and put one of the daughters' baby doll in it then arranged all the other childrens' stuffed animals around the cradle. Then we hung a tinfoil wrapped 4 pointed star over the cradle. To this day that is the first decoration that is put up by the kids.
