those conversations and figure out where, what's important to you, and where you can either make compromises or come to common ground with that. one of the things that we recommend is to make sure that grandparents feel respected along those lines as well. and one of the things they worry about is whether or not their traditions and culture will be passed onto their grandchildren. they want to have that legacy. so we recommend being able to share as much of that as possible. but what you might do is we sell brat this holiday inn our home, then we go to grandma's house to celebrate the other holiday. so whichever one is primary in your home you can do that way. in our home we actually do both. my family comes to us for christmas. and we have a christmas tree. but we also light the hanukkah candles every night. make sure they are not next to each other. >> tell me what you have here real quickly. >> sure. so we have some crafts here, things you can do with your kids. one of the things we have found is that boys tend to talk moran
